PART  I. 

THE  SELECTIVE-SERVICE  ACT  AND  ITS  ADMINISTRATION. 


December  20,  1917. 
The  Secketary  of  War. 

Sir:  Herewith  I  submit  my  report  upon  the  opera- 
tions of  the  first  draft  under  the  Selective-Service 
Act,  1917. 

I. 
INTRODUCTORY. 

On  May  17,  1917,  no  advocate  of  preparedness  could 
with  confidence  have  forecasted  the  success  of  a  com- 
pulsory-service law.  There  existed  no  mechanism  for 
the  enrollment  or  selection  of  individuals.  The  body 
politic  Mii.s  an  inchoate  mass  of  available  but  unor- 
ganized resource.  The  administrative  history  of  the 
United  States  disclosed  a  consistent  popular  adherence 
to  the  ppinciple  of  voluntary  enlistment  if  iiot  a  re- 
pudiation of  the  principle  of  selection  or  compulsory 
military  service.  It  is  true  that,-during  the  Civil  War, 
a  modified  conscription  bill  had  passed  the  Congress 
and  had  been  in  effect  for  a  period  of  two  years,  but 
the  application  of  that  law  can  scarcely  be  termed  a 
popular  success.  It  was  softenetl  and  weakened  by 
provisions  authorizing  the  payment  of  bounties  and 
the  hiring  of  substitutes  which  practically  made  it  a 
mcnns  for  adding  inducements  to  volunteers.  Its 
effect  was  persuasive  rather  than  compulsory.  It  was 
destined  to  the  fate  of  all  halfway  measures.  It  re- 
duced the  city  of  Ncav  York  to  a  state  of  anarchy,  and 
it  was  received  throughout  the  Nation  with  an  ill  gi-ace 
of  riot  and  protest.  In  practical  result  it  contributed 
a  compelled  service  from  only  46,347  men  out  of 
770,829  men  drafted  for  service. 

With  this  concrete  example,  and  with  such  abstract 
deductions  as  could  be  made  fi'om  our  history,  there 
were  many  who  feared  the  total  failure  of  the  Selec- 
tive-Service Law  which  was  enacted  by  Congress  on 
May  18,  1917.  The  law  was  unequivocal  in  its  terms. 
It  boldly  recited  the  military  obligations  of  citizen- 
ship. It  vested  the  President  with  the  most  plenary 
power  of  prescribing  regulations  which  should  strilce 
a  balance  between  the  industrial,  agricultural,  and  eco- 
nomic need  of  the  Nation  on  the  one  hand  and  the 
military  need  on  the  other,  and  should  summon  men 
for  service  in  the  place  in  which  it  should  best  suit  the 
conunon  good  to  call  them.  It  was  a  measure  of  un- 
gucsscd  significance  and  power.  It  flung  a  fair  chal- 
lenge at  the  feet  of  the  doubters,  and  the  refutation 
of  their  assertion  was  nothing  less  than  spectacular. 


The  governors  of  Stat«s.  the  mayors  of  cities,  and 
the  officials  of  counties  had  been  called  upon  to  lend 
their  aid  in  the  accomplishment  of  registration,  and.  in 
the  18  days  intervening  between  May  IS,  the  day  the 
law  was  approved,  and  June  5,  the  day  the  President 
had  fixed  as  registration  day,  a  gi'eat  administrative 
machine  was  erected.  This  system  comprised  some 
4,000  registration  boards  with  over  12,0t*  inoubors, 
employing  a  personnel  of  registrars  and  assistants  to 
the  number  of  125,000.  Between  dawn  and  dark  of 
one  single  day  practically  the  entire  male  population 
of  the  United  States  within  the  age  limits  fixed  by  law 
for  registration  presented  themselves  at  the  enrollment 
booths  with  a  registered  result  of  nearly  10,000,000 
names.  The  project  had  been  so  systematized  that 
within  48  hours  practically  complete  registration  re- 
turns had  been  assembled  by  telegraph  in  Washington. 

The  Selective-Service  Law  left  the  details  of  admin- 
istration to  presidential  regulation.  The  registration 
completed,  it  became  necessary  to  provi«le  a  complete 
and  somewhat  intricate  system  of  Selection  Boards,  to 
l^rescribe  their  procedure  in  hearing  and  resolving 
claims  for  exemption,  and  to  cedify  a  complete  set  of 
rules  under  which  the  most  sacred  rights  and,  the  grav- 
est obligations  of  registrants  and  their  dependents 
were  to  be  adjudicated.  These  b«ar«ls  were  consti- 
tuted and  appointed  and  the  regnlatiens  were  pub- 
lished and  distributed  by  June  18.  The  intricate  task 
of  computing  and  allotting  quotas  and  credits  for 
voluntary  enlistments  was  accomplished  early  in 
July. 

The  remaining  preliminary  task  was  t*  determine 
the  order  in  which  the  10,000,000  registrants  were  to 
be  called  to  determine  their  availability  for  military 
service.  This  was  accomplished  on  July  29  by  a  great 
central  lottery  in  Washington,  which  fixed  the  order 
of  call  for  the  whole  10,000,000  names.  This  order 
determined,  the  boards  proceeded  promi^tly  to  call,  to 
examine  physically,  and  to  consider  claims  for  exemp- 
tion of  a  sufficient  number  of  men  to  fill  the  fii-st 
national  quota  of  687,000  men. 

Moving    under   the    jiress    of    an     apparent    great 
urgency   with   the   intention   of   evolving  the   entire 
quota  by  the  end  of  September,  before  which  time  it 
was  then  thought  the  cantonments  would  be  ready  to  I 
receive  the  entire  quota,  the  boards  proceeded  to  :all   < 
and  examine  over  one  and  one-half  million  men.     On 


EErOKT   OF   THE   x'EOVOST   MAESHAL   GENERAL. 


July  30,  the  Arm}'  assimilated  the  first  selected  man 
under  the  new  plan,  and  by  September  1,  the  date  by 
which  it  had  originally  been  called  upon  to  produce 
the  first  30  per  cent  of  the  initial  draft,  the  Selective- 
Service  System  stood  ready  to  deliver  to  the  national 
cantonmciits  180,000  selected  men. 

Thus  in  less  than  three  months  and  one-half,  the 
Nation  had  accepted  and  vigorously  executed  a  com- 
pulsory-service law.  The  mechanism  for  the  vast  task 
of  registration  had  been  conjured  from  the  uncoordi- 
nated political  systems  of  the  several  States  in  a  fort- 
night. The  more  compact  organization  for  selection 
was  erected  in  only  a  little  more  time,  and  the  great 
siftir.g  process  was  accomplished  in  season  to  furnish 
the  men  necessary  for  the  formation  of  our  armies 
long  before  the  logistic  preparation  for  their  reception 
could  be  completed. 

The  whole  tale  has  been  thus  tersely  told  by  way  of 
introduction,  and  the  expedition  and  smoothness  with 
which  the  law  was  executed  has  been  recounted  for  the 
sole  purpose  of  emphasizing  the  significance  of  this 
remarkable  demonstration  of  the  flexibility,  adapta- 
bility, and  efficiency  of  our  system  of  government  and 
the  devotion  of  our  people.  Here  will  be  found  a 
gigantic  project  in  which  success  was  staked  not  on 
reliance  in  the  efficiency  of  a  man,  or  an  hierarchy  of 
men,  or,  primarily,  on  a  system.  Here  was  a  bold 
reliance  on  faith  in  a  people.  Most  exacting  duties 
were  laid  with  perfect  confidence  on  the  officials  of 
every  locality  in  the  Nation,  from  the  governors  of 
States  to  the  registrars  of  elections,  and  upon  private 
citizens  of  every  condition,  from  men  foremost  in  the 
industrial  and  political  life  of  the  Nation  to  those  who 
had  never  before  been  called  upon  to  participate  in 
the  functions  of  government. 

By  all  administrative  tokens,  the  accomplishment 
of  their  task  was  magic,  but  the  magic  lay  solely  in 
this: 

At  the  President's  call,  all  ranks  of  the  Nation, 
reluctantly  entering  the  war,  nevertheless  instantly 
responded  to  the  first  call  of  the  Nation  with 
a  vigorous  and  unselfish  cooperation  that  sub- 
merged all  individual  interest  in  a  single  endeavor 
toward  the  consummation  of  the  national  task.  I 
take  it  that  no  great  national  project  was  ever  at- 
tempted with  so  complete  a  reliance  on  the  voluntary 
cooperation  of  citizens  for  its  execution.  Certainly 
no  such  burdensome  and  sacrificial  statute  had  ever 
before  been  executed  without  a  great  hierarchy  of 
officials.  This  law  has  been  administered  by  civilians 
whose  official  relation  lies  only  in  4he  necessary  powers 
with  which  they  are  vested  by  the  President's  designa- 
tion of  them  to  perform  the  duties  that  are  laid  upon 
them.  They  have  accomplished  the  task.  They  have 
made  some  mistakes.  The  system  offers  room  for  im- 
provement. But  the  great  thing  they  were  called  upon 
to  do  they  have  done.    The  vaunted  efficiency  of  ab- 


solutism of  which  the  German  Empire  stands  as  the 
avatar  can  offer  nothing  to  compare  with  it.  It  re- 
mains the  ultimate  test  and  proof  of  the  intrinsic 
loolitical  idea  upon  which  American  institutions  of 
democracy  and  local  self-government  are  based. 

It  is  the  relation  of  this  novel  but  successful  experi- 
ment in  government  to  which  the  following  pages  are 
addressed. 

II. 

ERECTING  THE  REGISTRATION  SYSTEM. 

From  the  moment  American  participation  in  the 
world  war  became  apparently  inevitable  the  enactment 
of  the  Selective-Service  Law  was  also  inevitable,  and  at 
that  moment  the  preliminary  studies  that  resulted  in 
the  present  Selective-Service  System  were  instituted. 
The  trend  of  continental  military  organization  since 
the  battle  of  Jena,  and  the  inception  of  the  junker 
idea  of  "the  nation  in  arms"  (not  to  mention  the 
unprecedented  military  effectiveness  of  the  German 
Empire  in  the  present  conflict),  left  no  doi:bt  that  no 
intelligently  directed  nation  could  afford  to  enter  the 
conflict  with  less  than  its  entire  strength,  systematized, 
organized,  and  controlled  for  war.  Such  systematiza- 
tion  is  impossible  under  any  other  than  the  selective 
plan  for  raising  armies.  The  thinking  element  of  the 
Nation  was  perfectly  aware  of  the  truth  of  this  propo- 
sition; and  Germany  had  given  such  a  demonstration 
of  its  effectiveness  that  little  argument  was  necessary 
to  support  it  in  May  of  this  year,  and  none  is  neces- 
sary to-day.  If  farms,  factories,  railroads,  and  in- 
dustries were  not  to  be  left  crippled,  if  not  ruined,  by 
the  indiscriminate  volunteering  of  key  and  pivotal 
men,  then,  in  the  face  of  such  an  enemy  as  Germany, 
the  total  military  effectiveness  of  tlie  Nation  woidd 
have  been  lessened  rather  than  strengthened  by  the 
assembly  of  l.don.fiiii)  \olunteers. 

On  the  nssnniptidn  that  the  selective-service  bill 
would  become  a  law,  therefore,  the  plans  for  the  execu- 
tion of  that  law  were  formulated  in  very  minute  de- 
tail and  were  submitted  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for 
approval;  and  all  the  initial  plans  and  much  of  the 
actual  preparation  for  carrying  them  into  execution 
had  been  made  six  weeks  before  the  enactment  of  the 
law. 

Tlie  only  precedent  was  the  execution  of  the  Civil 
War  draft  act.  and  while  this  afforded  emphatic  warn- 
ings of  wliat  not  to  do,  it  was  worth  little  as  a  guide. 
For  the  execution  of  the  Civil  War  draft,  the  Nation 
v.-as  divided  into  enrollment  districts  corresponding  to 
the  congressional  districts.  A  complete  Federal  mili- 
tary machine  for  its  administration  was  erected,  with 
enrollment  boards  in  every  district  and  enrollment 
officers  in  every  precinct.  Two  months  were  required 
for  the  appointment  of  the  boards.  The  registration 
was  not  begun  until  these  boards  could  be  erected  and 
four  months  were  required  to  complete  it.    The  enroll- 


KJ5P0RT  OF  THE  PROVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL, 


ing  officers  went  from  house  to  house  in  malring  their 
canv.ass;  and  practice  proved  that  they  went  at  peril  of 
their  lives.  Some  were  killed  and  many  were  injured. 
The  enrollment  was  very  incomplete  and  far  from 
accurate.  The  Civil  War  plan  was  therefore  very 
slow,  very  expensive,  and  not  at  all  satisfactory.  If  it 
had  anything  to  recommend  it,  it  was  the  military  con- 
trol and  power  behind  it  for  enforcement.  Study 
seemed  to  reveal,  however,  that  perhaps  this  very 
aspect  of  it  nuiy  have  had  much  to  do  with  its  un- 
popularity and  lack  of  success.  It  seemed  to  advertise 
a  lack  of  faith  in  popular  support  and  participation. 
It  was  completely  foreign  to  our  intrinsic  ideas  of 
popular  and  local  self-govci'mnent.  It  was  centralized, 
slow,  and  cumbersome.  If  it  were  to  bo  followed  there 
was  no  reason  to  anticipate  a  more  speedy  regiKtrution 
of  our  vastly  increased  and  more  wid-.-ly  distributed 
population,  and  our  other  military  preparations  (with 
which  the  selection  must  necessarily  synclu-onize)  de- 
manded a  veiy  much  greater  rate  of  speed. 

It  was  apparent  that  the  first  task  of  preparation 
must  be  a  registration  of  the  millions  of  young  men 
who  would  be  subject  to  the  law,  and  that  nothing 
further  could  be  attempted  until  the  registration  was 
complete.  Standing  ready  at  hand  was  the  State, 
city,  and  county  electoral  machinery,  enhanced  by  the 
signilictfnt  circumstance  that  most  State  election  regis- 
trations are  promptly  prepared  for  and  are  usually 
executed  in  a  single  day.  It  was  computed  that  the 
most  convenient  number  of  persons  to  be  carefully  but 
swiftly  selected  under  the  jurisdiction  of  a  single  selec- 
tion board  was  about  3,000,  and  that  this  was  nearly  the 
average  male  population  between  the  ages  of  21  and 
30  in  a  county.  Considering  that  the  county  is  the 
princiiDal  minor  unit  of  political  admini&triition 
throughout  the  United  Staffes,  the  plan  of  a  collection 
of  such  convenient  registration  and  selection  units  in 
each  State,  concentering  about  State  headquarters, 
was  very  persuasive,  and  the  added  circumstance  that 
such  a  plan  was  the  perfect  pattern  of  the  normal 
l^eace-tirae  administration  of  the  Nation  was  com- 
pelling. It  was  distinctively  an  American  plan.  The 
arguments  against  its  systemic  soundness  were  only 
the  stock  arguments  against  the  systeniir  soundness 
for  war  purposes  of  the  political  structure  of  the  Na- 
tion itself.  It  was  often  said,  in  the  days  of  that 
planning,  that,  for  the  purposes  of  war,  we  lack  the 
solidarity  nnd  compactness  of  such  absolute  govern- 
mental system,  as  that  of  Germany.  On  the  other 
hand,  there  was  the  suggestion  that  the  very  centrali- 
zation and  lack  of  opportunity  for  popular  participa- 
tion might  have  been  responsible  for  our  unsatis- 
factory experience  in  1863. 

Once  the  ]iliui  had  been  decided  upon,  it  became  ap- 
parent Unit  tlicre  could  bi'  no  equivocation  in  its  exe- 
cution. The  riiunty  was  selected  as  the  typical  work- 
ing unit.     The  conntv  ornnnizations  within  each  State 


were  grouped  in  the  larger  administrative  imits  of  the 
States  themselves,  and  finally  the  State  units  were 
controlled  from  a  central  source  in  Washington. 

The  plan  itself  is  described  in  full  in  the  following 
excerpt  from  a  letter  to  the  governors  of  the  several 
Statcs.under  date  of  April  23,  1917,  nearly  a  mjuth 
before  the  enactment  of  the  selective-service  law : 

THE  LETTER  OF  ANNOUNCEMENT  TO  THE  GOVERNORS. 

The  President  flesirei;  that  I  bring  to  your  attention  the  fol- 
lowing considerations  whicli  Iio  is  not  at  present  ready  to 
give  to  tlie  press:  Pendin.i:  Ic-islMtion  coiifemptates  calling  ti> 
the  colors  a  sufficient  luniihtr  a;'  siniii;,'  i,i.>n  t«  previde  for  the 
eoramon  defense.  It  will  )ic  .ipji n'  nt  in  you  that  no  steps 
can  be  taken  toward  the  acliKil  niii  ;iiTin--  of  the  selected  array 
luitil,  in  the  form  of  a  reKistiMlion  m'  ;iil  males  of  design;ited 
acre,  there  has  l>een  completed  a  must  coiiipi'ehensive  census  of 
our  resources  of  men.  Notwithstanding  differeaee  of  opinion 
that  may  exist  as  to  other  features  of  this  legislation,  no  voice 
has  yet  contested  the  necessity  for  such  an  enr»lli«ent ;  and 
we  may  confidently  assume  that  the  law  w'iH  carry  a  provision 
requiring  all  sftch  persons  to  present  then»selves  ftr  re,;;istra- 
tion  at  a  day  and  place  to  lie  named  by  Fu-esi«ieutial  proclama- 
tion, under  pain  of  penalty  for  failure  to  d»  s». 

Wiiile  enrollment  is  thus  necessary,  the  undertaking  it  im- 
poses js  very  gi-eat.  The  macliinei-y  f«r  such  a  census  must 
fa-st  be  created.  In  the  Civil  War  a  perieii  of  tw«  and  one- 
half  months  of  preparation  was  necessary  before  a  single  name 
could  be  written  in  the  rolls  of  available  men.  The  prospect  of 
such  delay  is  disturbing.  At  the  moment  of  tfce  e«aetinent  of  a 
law  levying  new  armies  there  ^ill  be  a  wide  demand  for  instiuu 
action;  yet  the  enthusiasm  and  the  potential  emergy  of  our 
people  must  remain  pent  and  poised  while  we  await  the  com- 
pletion of  the  uninspiring  and  tedious  pre!i»stnary  of  enroll- 
ment. If  this  delay  can  be  avoided,  it  must  be  av»i<k'.d.  In- 
trinsic in  the  problem  that  confronted  Congress  in  1SC3  was 
the  necessity  for  creating  a  complete  Federal  instrumentality 
for  effecting  the  registration.  The  States,  unhappily,  wei'e  not 
at  one  in  bearing  out  the  Nation  in  this.  'When  we  afford  our- 
selves the  satisfaction  of  saying  that  this  coniiiticn  no  longer 
subsists,  we  put  the  chief  impediment  to  swift  action  out  of 
our  reckoning.  The  gratifying  and  evident  eagerness  of  the 
States  to  do  their  utmost  in  aid  of  the  Nation  at  this  emergent 
moment  persuades  u5  to  indulge  the  belief  not  only  that  State 
agencies  can  be  used  for  this  purpose,  but  that  they  promise 
the  swiftest  and  the  most  effective  possible  execution  of  the 
law.  It  is  not  too  sanguine,  I  think,  to  say  that  this  considera- 
tion breaks  pur  way  directly  to  the  light  and  insures  t!ie  reso- 
lution of  all  our  difficulties. 

As  an  incident  of  elections,  and  in  those  elections  themselves, 
our  people  have  long  been  practiced  in  presenting  themselves  at 
accustOjined  voting  places  to  be  polled  for  one  purpose  or 
another  by  the  agencies  of  the  States.  Tlie  methods  employed 
in  those  enumerations  are  admirably  adapted  to  the  accom- 
plishment of  this,  for  we  find  in  every  State  a  mechanism  for 
registration  and  a  people  accustomed  to  its  use.  The  details  of 
the  local  instrumentalities  may  differ,  but  all  exist  for  a 
single  purpose  that  is,  in  essential  substance,  the  purpose  we 
now  entertain.  It  is  true  that  those  agencies  are  not  at  pres- 
ent bound  in  a  single  uniform  system  responsive  to  a  sole  con- 
trol, but  the  elimination  of  this  objection  is  precisely  our 
problem.  I  can  not  think  that  it  is  dilKcuIt.  The  pending  bill 
contains  the  following  provision,  which  I  confidently  believe 
will  become  a  law : 

Snc.  5.  That  the  President  is  hereby  authorized  to  utilize 
the  service  of  any  or  all  departments  and  any  or  nil  oflicers 


REPORT  OF   THE  PKOVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


or  agents  of  the  United  States  and  of  the  several  States, 

Territories,  and  the  District  of  Columbia  in  the  execution 

of  this  act,  and  all  ofRcers  and  agents  of  the  United  States 

and  of  the  several  States,  Territories,  and  the  District  of 

Columbia  are  hereby  required  to  perform  such  duties  in 

the  execution  of  this  act  as  the  President  shall  order  and 

direct,  and  ofDcers  and  agents  of  the  several  States  shall 

hereby  have  full  authority  for  all  acts  done  by  them  in  the 

execution  of  this  act  by  the  direction  or  request  of  the 

President. 

It  is  proposed  to  execute  so  much  of  the  law  as  I  have  here 

discussed   along   the   following   lines.     By   proclamation   the 

President  will  call  upon  persons  of  the  designated  classes  to 

present  themselves  on  a  certain  day  at  the  customary  polling 

places  in  their  domiciliary  voting  precincts.     These  preciucts 

are  now  delineated  with  contained  populations  of  convenient 

size  for  enumeration  in  one  day.    In  nearly  all  of  them  there 

is  a  provision  of  method  and  material  to  that  end.    The  voting 

precinct  shall,  therefore,  be  the  primary  registration  area.    For 

each  the  service  of  registrars  must  be  secured ;  but,  so  well 

are  their  population  proportioned  to  enumeration,  that  in  most 

of  tliem  one  registrar  will  be  sufficient.     It  is  felt  that  much 

voluntary  service  will  be  offered.     It  would  be  gratifying  to 

think  that  in  each  precinct  the  position  of  registrar  could  be 

filled  by  competent  and  responsible  citizens  who  would  claim 

no  compensation,  but  while  I  desire  to  encourage  such  offers, 

I  shall  not  rely  on  them. 

For  the  purpose  of  securing  prompt  replies  and  of  orderly 
administration  and  centralization  of  control  and  for  further 
execution  of  the  law,  a  local  authority  supervising  an  appro- 
priate number  of  precincts  is  necessary.  The  county  is,  with- 
out exception,  I  believe,  the  territorial  and  political  subdivi- 
sion into  which  all  voting  precincts  integrate  without  over- 
lapping. For  this  reason,  registration  in  the  precincts  must  be 
under  supervision  of  a  county  board  of  control.  Other  rea- 
sons are  these :  After  the  registration  is  complete,  selections 
of  persons  to  be  called  to  the  colors  must  be  made  based  upon 
the  information  found  in  the  registration  lists.  While  the 
cl.nss  from  which  soldiers  are  to  come  is  to  be  segregated  by 
<lraft,  tlie  law  is  careful  to  provide  for  avoiding  the  misery 
tliat  war  brings  to  dependents  at  home  and  for  a  choice  of 
tliose  whose  military  service  the  Nation  most  needs  and  whose 
civil  and  domestic  service  can  best  be  spared.  The  important 
duty  of  making  the  selection  from  the  drafted  class  can 
best  be  performed  by  a  permanent  board  in  each  county  com- 
posed of  citizens  who  can  be  relied  upon  to  execute  this  solemn 
function  with  even  justice  and  with  apprehension  of  its 
gravity.  This  board  shoidd  control  the  process  of  selection 
from  its  earliest  steps,  and  therefore  it  must  supervise  the 
registration.  For  the  sake  of  uniformity,  for  the  elimination 
of  expense,  and  for  further  and  self-evident  consideration,  it 
would  be  pi-escrihed  that  this  board  be  composed  of  the  sheriff, 
who  would  act  as  its  executive  officer,  the  county  clerk,  who 
would  be  the  custodian  of  its  records,  and  the  county  physi- 
cian, who  would  serve  as  surgeon  and  pass  upon  the  physical 
fitness  of  those  who  are  selected  for  service.  In  the  normal 
case  tlie  board  must  be  so  constituted,  but  county  organization 
is  not  uniform  throughout  the  Nation,  and,  important  as  is  the 
requirement  of  homogeneity  in  the  general  pattern,  it  is  not 
desired  to  restrict  the  discretion  of  governors  in  adapting  the 
essentials  of  the  plan  to  the  peculiarities  of  local  political  in- 
stitutions, in  so  far  as  that  may  be  done  without  impairing  the 
fimction  of  the  national  machine.  Cities  of  over  30,000  in- 
habitants present  a  special  case;  while  urban  voting  precincts 
are  as  well  adapted  to  registration  as  those  in  rural  districts, 
the  supervisory  county  board  is  not  suited  to  the  municipal 
organization  of  cities  of  so  gi-eat  a  population.  It  is  thought 
that,  for  the  execution  of  the  law  in  such  cities,  boards  similar 


to  the  county  boai-d  sliould  be  constituted  for  one  or  more 
wards  to  supervise  the  registration  in  indicated  pro<'incts  ami 
to  further  execute  the  law.  and  that  tlie  various  ward  boards 
should  function  under  a  central  city  Imard  of  control. 

While  the  territorial  (ir-aiiizatinns  liere  ili-^rrilird  must  be 
preserved,  and  tlic  pattern  ni  ri.iiuly  and  city  iimiiol  must  not 
be  distributed,  there  sliall  not  lie  laid  down  any  inn;'xil)lc  rule 
governing  the  composition  of  those  local  boards,  and  that  mat- 
ter shall  be  left  to  your  good  judgment.  You  will  realize, 
however,  that  the  maintenance  of  the  suppleness  and  efficiency 
of  the  whole  system  requires  that  the  least  possible  departure 
be  made  in  tlie  constitution  of  these  boards  and  that  consider- 
ations arising  from  local  peculiarities  should  be  strong  indeed 
to  induce  a  change  in  the  normal  constitution  here  indicated. 

It  would  be  gratifying  also  to  think  that  the  service  re- 
quired of  members  of  these  boards  would  be  offered  without 
hope  of  compensation,  but  it  is  limno  in  mind  that  the  duties 
Imposed  upon  them  will  be  exailinu-,  ditlirult,  and  frequently 
dLstressing.  If  compensation  is  ntHcssary,  the  Government 
stands  ready  to  make  it.  Wliere  any  .service  in  connection 
herewith  is  rendered  gratuitously  the  Government  will  be 
prompt  to  express  its  appreciation. 

The  next  thought  in  coordinating  local  organizations  under 
a  central  control  indicates  yourself  as  chief  executive  of  the 
State,  functioning,  of  course,  through  some  appropriate  office 
tliat  will  relieve  you  of  detail.  The  office  that  suggests  itself 
instantly  to  my  mind  is  that  of  your  adjutant  general.  The 
President  has  the  firmest  confidence  that  in  the  execution  of 
this  law  of  devotetl  sacrifice  by  the  people  themselves  our 
genius  for  self-government  will  transcend  all  prior  expressions. 
For  this  reason  it  is  desired  to  make  the  point  of  actual  ap- 
plication of  the  law  nonmilitary,  but  as  the  system  cehtralizes 
its  military  object  is  emphasized,  and  with  the  assistance  of 
such  clerical  force  as  may  be  necessary,  your  adjutant  gen- 
eral's office  is  excellently  adaptable  to  the  integration  of  the 
State  system  with  the  War  Department. 

It  has  thus  far  been  attempted  to  demonstrate  the  difficul- 
ties of  the  problem  and  the  plan  proposed  to  obviate  them  and 
to  visualize  the  system  which  shall  result  which,  in  recapitu- 
lation, may  be  stated  to  be:  First,  a  central  bureau  in  \yasii- 
ington ;  second,  a  collection  of  State  and  territorial  systems 
decentralized  as  far  «s  possiljle  under  control  of  the  gov- 
ernors; third,  county  and  citj^boards  of  control;  fourth,  for 
the  purpose  of  registration,  a  registrar  for  each  voting  pre- 
cinct and  an  assistant  were  necessary. 

I  have  already  indicated  the  necessity  of  expedition  in  com- 
pleting the  registration.  It  is  important  to  add  that  the  selec- 
tion of  those  who  are  to  go  ought  to  be  made  swiftly,  in  order 
that  as  long  a  time  as  is  consistent  with  the  national  interest 
may  be  given  them  in  which  to  compose  their  affairs  ^and  to 
make  their  farewells. 

Since  even  the  coordination  and  preparation  of  existing 
mechanism  will  consume  no  title  time,  this  letter  is  being  ad- 
dressed to  you  to  apprise  you  of  the  plan,  to  enal)Ie  you  to 
consider  it  and  be  prepared  immediately  upon  enactment  of 
the  law  to  adjust  the  machinery  in  your  State  to  this  regis- 
tration anil  to  .ucai'iiin'  witli  tlie  national  unit.  This  will  sug- 
gest to  yuu  the  desirability  of  .some  such  proper  and  necessary 
anticipation  as  a  selection  of  the  best  method  of  constituting 
your  county  and  city  boards  and  a  preparation  for  promptly 
calling  these  boards  into  being  and  apprising  them  of  their 
functions.  It  is  intended  to  inform  tlie  pul;ilic  mind  of  the 
details  of  the  plan  in  order  that  all  may  know  the  duties  to 
be  required  of  them. 

The  War  Department  is  ready  to  follow  a  rather  expedi- 
tious schedule.  The  President's  proclamation  will  be  pub- 
lislied  throughout  the  United  States  on  the  day  of  the  an- 
proval  of  the  bill.    It  is  hoped  that,  on  telegraphic  notification 


REPORT   OF   THE   PROVOST  MARSHAL   GENERAL. 


of  the  govenior  tlnit  the  bill  has  passed,  all  county  and  city 
boards  of  I'esistration  in  tlie  United  States  can  be  constituted 
by  the  governors  within  tliree  or  four  days.  The  necessary 
instructions,  regulations,  and  cards  for  registration  must  come 
from  a  single  Federal  source  in  order  that  the  information 
received  may  be  of  a  uniform  character.  All  arrangements 
have  been  made  here  to  print  and  forward  this  material  di- 
rectly to  sheriffs  and  to  mayors  of  cities  of  over  30,000  popu- 
lation, as  .sliown  by  the  census  of  1010,  in  time  to  have  the 
distribution  complete  in  the  most  remote  county  seat  within 
six  days  after  the  approval  of  the  bill.  This  distribution  will 
be  only  to  county  seats  and  we  must  look  to  the  sheriffs  (or 
to  such  officers  as  you  may  choose  in  their  stead)  to  see  to 
it  that  the  distribution  to  precincts  is  complete  within  eight 
days  even  if,  in  case  of  remote  precincts,  they  have  to  cause 
the  blanks  and  instructions  to  be  sent  by  special  messenger. 
.Should  you  constitute  boards  not  including  the  sherifT,  those 
brjiirds  must  procure  the  blanks  from  the  sheriffs.  In  order 
to  accommodate  changes  tliat  may  have  occurred  in  the  popu- 
lation of  counties  since  the  last  census  (upou  which  we  shall 
rely  in  distributing  blanks)  we  shall  forward  to  you  a  sur- 
plus to  fill  deficiencies  in  county  supplies  and  your  sheriif 
should  be  instructed  to  telegraph  State  headquarters  in  case 
of  shortage. 

The  hope  is  entertained  that  the  whole  system  may  be  ready 
to  proceed  to  registration  within  10  days  (or,  at  most,  two 
weeks)  after  enactment  of  the  law,  but  confidence  in  this  is 
reserved  until  advices  /liave  been  received  from  the  governors 
ajilirising  of  difficulties  (if  such  there  be)  which  have  not 
been  foreseen  in  this  rather  hasty  survey  of  the  political  sys- 
tems of  the  States. 

It  is  of  course  apparent  that  the  success  of  this  great  under- 
tal;iiig  is  dependent  entirely*  upon  the  zeal  and  cooperation  of 
y-\::tL\  city,  and  county  officials,  and  of  private  citizens.  It 
will  rocjuire  the  very  best  efforts  of  everyone  concerned  In  it. 
.Such  a  complete  reliance  on  State  organization  for  the  per- 
formance of  the  Federal  service  has  never  before  been  made 
in  our  history,  and  it  is  a  happy  day  for  the  Union  when  it 
c;in  be  said,  as  it  now  can  be  said,  that  the  very  best  means 
that  could  possibly  be  employed  for  such  a  necessary  and 
emergent  national  task  are  the  political  organizations  of  the 
several  States. 

The  response  of  the  governors  was,  without  a  .single 
exception,  nothing  less  than  inspiring.  Preparation 
for  the  execution  of  the  registration  had  been  carried 
forward  with  such  rapidity  in  anticipation  of  enact- 
ment of  law  that,  on  the  day  of  its  approval,  the 
wiiole  .system  was  practically  complete.  Preliminary 
drafts  of  the  regulations  governing  registration,  lack- 
ing only  the  authorization  of  the  statute  itself,  had 
been  distributed  to  all  registration  officials.  The  com- 
plete supply  of  45,000,000  blanlc  forms  had  been  so 
thoroughly  disseminated  that  every  registration  board 
was  provided  with  all  the  necessary  paraphernalia. 
It  is  a  fact  that,  save  for  the  necessity  of  giving  ample 
publicity  and  distribution  to  the  President's  procl- 
amation fixing  June  5  as  registration  day,  the  regis- 
tration could  have  been  as  well  consummated  on  May 
25  (one  week  after  the  bill  became  a  law)  as  it  was 
on  June  5,  the  day  fixed  by  the  President.  In  short, 
the  registration  machinery  had  been  completely  pro- 
vided before  the  law  was  enacted,  so  that  all  that  re- 
•  mained  to  do  was  to  make  a  few  minor  adjustments 


and  to  await,  with  some  groundless  apprehension, 
the  response  of  our  people  to  the  first  considerable 
demand  of  the  war. 

ORGANIZATIOH   OF   THE   OFFICE   OF   THE   PROVOST  MAR- 
SHAL   GENERAL. 

As  .soon  as  its  progress  in  Congress  gave  form  to 
the  probable  trend  of  the  pending  selective-service 
legislation  the  undersigned  was  assigned  the  task  of 
preparing  the  preliminary  studies  for  its  execution. 
Two  officers,  then  on  duty  in  the  Office  of  the  Judge 
Advocate  General,  Capts.  Hugh  S.  Johnson,  Cavalry, 
and  Cassius  M.  Dowell,  Infantry,  were  assigned  to 
the  specific  task  of  working  out  the  details  of  tlio  gen- 
eral plan  which  was  formulated  and  approved  on 
April  10.  On  May  22  the  undersigned  was  formally 
designated  Provost  Marshal  General. 

On  April  2G  offices  were  occupied  in  the  old  Land 
Oflice  Building,  and  between  that  date  and  May  10 
six  more  officers  had  reported  and  a  tentative  office 
organization  was  worked  out,  with  Maj.  Johnson  as 
executive  officer  in  charge  of  the  detail  of  administra- 
tion. Col.  Kreger  in  charge  of  the  department  of 
quotas  and  credits,  Maj.  Dowell  in  charge  of  the  ap- 
pointment division,  Capt.  Perrin  L.  Smith  as  disburs- 
ing officer,  and  Maj.  J.  B.  Scott  in  charge  of  the 
Correspondence  Division.  Maj.  Johnson  and  Maj. 
Dowell  had  composed  a  committee  to  prepare  regis- 
tration regulations;  Col.  Kreger  and  Maj.  Warren 
composed  a  committee  to  prepare  the  regulations  for 
the  first  draft. 

This  tentative  organization  of  the  office  has  not 
been  substantially  departed  from,  although  there  have 
been  several  changes  in  personnel  and  some  additions. 

Correspondence  is  now  handled  by  the  Executive 
Division,  which  is  divided  into  several  sections,  ab- 
.sorliing  the  administrati\('  detail  of  the  work. 

The  provisions  of  Uu-  (;ld  i\'j;iilations  allowing  an 
appeal  to  the  President  fioui  the  final  decisions  of 
the  district  boards  on  claims  for  exemption  on  the 
ground  of  engagement  in  industry  or  agricidture  have 
resulted  in  the  receipt  to  date  of  22,250  appeals. 

The  records  in  each  of  these  cases  require  exhaustive 
study  and  concise  briefing  for  final  administrative  ac- 
tion. Lieut.  Col.  E.  A.  Kreger,  assisted  by  Maj.  C.  B. 
Warren,  has  been  in  charge  of  this  work.  Under 
their  direction  13,441  cases  have  been  so  treated  and 
have  been  finally  resolved,  with  12,435-  affirmances  and 
1,006  reversals. 

The  congestion  of  cases  resulting  from  the  first 
draft  required  a  very  large  force  of  examiners. 
-Twenty-four  Eeserve  Corps  judge  advocates  have 
been  temporarily  detailed  for  this  service.  The  re- 
quirements were  so  great,  however,  that  an  appeal 
was  made  for  the  voluntary  assistance  of  members  of 
the  bar  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  the  following

In  preparing  studies  for  the  new  regulations  mem- 
bers of  local  and  district  boards  from  widely  sep- 
arated districts,  selected  with  a  view  to  presenting  as 
many  diversities  of  the  problems  of  the  first  draft  as 
possible,  were  called  to  Washington  for  conference, 
and  all  local  and  district  boards  were  called  upon  for 
a  statement  showing  criticism  and  recommendations. 
Provided  with  the  valuable  data  thus  evoked,  Lieut. 
Col.  Johnson,  Maj.  Easby-Smith,  and  Capt.  H.  C. 
Kramer  were  appointed  as  a  committee  and  directed 
to  prepare  a  revision  of  the  old  regulations  along  the 
lines  discussed  at  length  in  the  latter  pages  of  this 
report. 

Their  labors  were  completed  and  the  new  regula- 
tions promulgated  on  November  8.  The  vast  distri- 
bution and  preparation  of  forms  had  already  been 
begun,  and  on  December  15  the  task  of  classification 
was  initiated  by  the  boards.  It  is  proceeding 
smoothly  and  without  untoward  incident. 
.  A  list  of  the  officers  who  have  been  on  duty  in  this 
office  is  given  in  the  Appendix. 

A  proper  acknowledgment  of  the  loyal  and  efficient 
service  rendered  by  those  who  have  assisted  in  the  per- 
formance of  tlie  very  large  task  which  confronted  this 
office  would  require  a  roll  call  of  all  who  have  been 
identified  with  this  work  either  as  officers  or  in  a  cleri- 
cal capacity;  the  office  force  has  at  all  times  been  loyal 
and  si)eedily  became  efficient. 

Certain  ones  have  been  drawn  into  such  a  conspicu- 
ous relation  to  the  woik  that  special  acknowledgment 
is  their  due.  They  include  Lieut.  Col.  Hugh  S.  John- 
son, who  has  carried  so  efiiciently  the  duties  of  execu- 
tive officer  which  have  brouglit  him  into  responsible 
contact  witli  every  line  of  its  administration;  Lieut. 
Col.  E.  A.  Kreger,  wlio  fornnilated  the  regulations  re- 


specting quotas  and  had  charge  of  the  correspondence 
relating  to  the  same,  and  who  later  became  the  direct- 
ing head  of  the  appeals  division  of  this  office  which 
considered  the  large  number  of  agricultural  and  in- 
dustrial claims  for  exemption  which  had  been  ap- 
pealed to  the  President  from  the  judgment  of  the 
district  boards;  Maj.  Charles  B.  Warren,  who  had 
primary  responsibility  in  the  formulation  of  the  regu- 
lations for  the  first  draft  and  upon  whom  and  Col. 
Kreger  fell  the  duty  of  coordinating  and  directing  the 
work  of  the  appeals  division ;  Lieut.  Col.  A.  W.  Gul- 
lion,  upon  Avhom  tlie  work  of  the  correspondence 
division  has  fallen  so  heavily,  and  who  has  been  the 
efficient  substitute  in  the  executive  office  during  periods 
of  time  when  Col.  Johnson  was  withdrawn  therefrom 
for  other  work;  Maj.  J.  H.  ^\'igniorc,  a  con&ijicuous 
name  in  the  legal  profession,  wiiose  pai'ticipation  in 
the  work  of  this  office  has  carried  him  into  all  fields 
of  our  work,  and  who  has  found  time,  among  other 
exacting  duties,  to  organize  the  statistical  division  of 
the  office,  and  who  has  supervised  the  preparation  of 
the  various  tables  and  comments  thereon  which  ap- 
pear in  this  report;  Maj.  Edwin  W.  Fnllam,  who 
has  had  charge  of  office  organization;  and,  finally, 
Maj.  James  S.  Easby-Smith,  who  came  t«  this  office 
from  the  presidency  of  the  District  Beard  for  the 
District  of  Cohunbia,  and  who  has  rendered  most 
valuable  service  both  as  a  member  of  the  committee 
which  prepared  tlie  revised  regulations  under  which 
the  new  military  and  industrial  classification  of 
9,000.000  registrants  is  proceeding  satisfactorily,  and 
wlio  luis  since  tlien  assumed,  in  responsible  portion, 
woi-k  connecteil  witli  such  classification  in  the  execu- 
tive branri)  of  this  office. 

Sucli  coiiMueiidation  as  the  administration  of  this 
oflifo  merits  at  your  hands  will  be  found  due,  in  a 
great  nu-a.-iure,  to  Lieut.  Col.  Johnson,  executive  officer. 
1 1  has  raicly  happened  in  our  service  that  an  officer 
of  his  ago  and  experience  has  been  called  upon  to  per- 
form sucli  responsible  duties.  In  their  performance 
he  lias  cliMllengcd  and  held  my  attention  and,  as  well, 
the  allpution  of  the  office  force  in  a  very  special  way, 
and  tlie  opinion  of  all  associated  with  him  is  confirma- 
tory of  my  own  of  the  indefatigable  zeal  and  energy 
and  the  great  ability*  with  which  he  has  addressed 
himself  to  his  tasks.  What  I  here  make  of  record  in 
this  formal  report  will  serve  to  bring  to  your  atten- 
tion the  special  commendation  of  specific  tasks  per- 
formed by  Col.  Johnson,  which  I  have  brought  to 
your  attention  from  time  to  time.

THE  REGISTRATION. 

The  registration  is  set  forth  by  .States  in  Appendix 
Table  1,  and  its  .several  aspects  are  fully  analyzed  and 
discussed  in  Part  II.  It  suflices  here  to  say  that  on 
the  morning  of  June  5  a  perfectly  coordinated'system

whicli,  l\v  the  patriotic  and  devoted  cooperation  of 
the  officials  and  citizens  of  the  several  States,  had  been 
created  almost  in  a  fortnight,  stood  ready  to  the 
task.  On  the  evening  of  that  day,  practically  the  en- 
tire male  population  of  the  United  States  between  the 
ages  of  21  and  30  had  presented  themselves  for  enroll- 
ment for  service,  and  within  48  hours  the  returns  in 
the  city  of  Washington  were  90  per  cent  complete.  A 
-solume  that  would  read  as  an  epic  of  patriotic  inge- 
nuity and  endeavor  could  be  devoted  to  the  story  of 
the  registration  in  many  of  the  States.  Seemingly  in- 
surmoinitable  difficulties  were  overcome.  The  men  of 
the  Nation  made  their  first  response  to  the  call  of 
national  need  in  a  unison  that  removed  all  doubt  of 
the  solidarity  and  d6\otion  of  our  people.  The  event 
proved  the  President's  forecast  of  it. 

June  5  is  destined  to  become  one  of  the  most  sig- 
nitic-nt  days  in  American  history. 


IV. 


OEGANIZATION  OP  THE  SYSTEM  FOR  SELECTION. 

Preparation  for  the  registration  having  been  made 
before  enactment  of  the  law,  the  fortnight  intervening 
beforo  registration  was  given  over  to  a  study  of  the 
intricacies  of  the  law  as  it  had  come  from  the  hands 
of  Congress,  and  to  a  reorganization  of  the  hastily 
erected  registration  sj'stem,  for  the  execution  of  tlie 
overwhelming  task  of  selection. 

It  had  been  the  intention  to  utilize  the  registration 
mechanism  for  the  selection  and  to  merge  the  system 
for  registration  easily  into  the  plan  for  selection. 
Changes  inserted  in  the  bill  as  originally  drafted,  how- 
ever, required  considerable  adjustments  of  the  regis- 
tration system. 

The  intrinsic  idea  of  the  latter  system,  as  it  had  been 
conceived,  was  to  pass  complete  responsibility  for  the 
execution  of  the  selection  on  to  the  States,  to  vest  i;he 
governoi's  with  as  much  control  as  possible,  and  to  that 
end  to  hold  them  responsible  for  the  selection  of  all 
officials  who  were  to  be  charged  with  the  actual  local 
administration.  The  registration  boards  were  selected 
in  precise  accord  with  this  idea.  Congress  had,  how- 
ever, inserted  provisions,  apparently  intended  to  give 
statutory  effect  to  the  tentative  draft  of  registration 
regulations,  but  actually  requiring  that  selection 
boards  should  be  appointed  by  the  President.  While 
authorizing  the  President  to  c&ll  \ipon  the  governors, 
and  all  State  oi;  rifttional  officials  or  other  persons 
within  n  Stale,  to  perform  such  duties  as  he  might 
tTesignate,  under  pain  of  heavy  penalties  for  neglect  or 
refusal,  the  terras  of  the  statute  required  a  consider- 
able readjustment  of  the  registration  system  for  the 
purposes  of  selection.  It  was  determined  at  once  to 
maintain  as  far  as  legally  possible  the  pattern  of  na- 
tional supervision  and  State  control,  under  the  original 


basic  idea  of  what  may  (not  too  pedantically)  be 
termed  a  system  of  "supervised  decentralization." 

The  areas  of  jurisdiction  of  the  local  boards  were  to 
remain  practically  the  same  as  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
registration  boards.  Local  boards  were  to  have  origi- 
nal jurisdiction  of  all  claims  for  exemption  or  dis- 
charge except  those  on  the  ground  of  engagement  in 
industry  and  agriculture,  jurisdiction  of  which  was 
vested  in  the  district  boards.  From  the  local  board 
jurisdiction  a  right  of  appeal  to  the  district  boards 
was  provided,  but  the  decision  of  the  district  board 
in  all  matters  within  the  original  jurisdiction  of  the 
local  boards  was  final.  From  matters  within  the  juris- 
diction of  the  district  boards  a  right  of  appeal  to  tlie 
President  was  provided. 

The  principal  question  to  be  decided  by  the  local 
boards  was  that  of  dependency.  The  regulations  per- 
mitted the  exemption  of  any  man  who  had  a  wife,  a 
child,  mainly  dependent  upon  him  for  support.  This 
question  of  dependency  involved  circumstances  of  do- 
mestic relation  which  required  the  sympathetic  consid- 
eration of  the  neighbors  of  the  registrant.  The  per- 
.sonnel  of  the  local  boards  was  therefore  to  be  selected 
with  reference  to  their  environment  rather  than  with 
reference  to  their  professions  or  callings.  In  some 
States  the  local  officials  who  had  supervised  the  regis- 
tration were  selected  to  continue  as  local  boards;  in 
others  the  governor  made  a  complete  new  .selection. 

The  district  boards  Avere  to  bo  created  anew,  and 
the  careful  selection  of  their  personnel  was  of  para- 
mount importance.  The  view  of  this  office  as  to  their 
composition  is  given  in  the  succeeding  pages. 

While  the  President  was  to  exercise  his  statutory 
functions  of  appointing  the  selection  boards,  upon 
the  governor  of  each  State  was  imposed  the  re- 
.sponsibility  for  districting  his  State;  and  he  was 
called  upon  to  nominate  the  personnel  of  the  local 
and  district  boards,  under  certain  restrictions  con- 
tained in  the  following  instructions  to  governors  and 
a  memorandum  for  the  information  of  Members  of 
Congress  under  date  of  May  26  and  June  18 : 

Tlie  execution  of  the  selective-service  law  divides  itself  inti^ 
two  distinct  stages — ^first,  the  registration ;  second,  the  selectinn 
and  the  determination  of  exemptions.  Instructions  and  regu- 
lations which  have  so  far  been  furnished  you  lir^ve  concerned 
themselves  solely  with  the  registration. 

It  was  the  intention  to  erect  for  the  r;virpose  of  registration  a 
machine  which  could  pass  to  the  c-i:ecution  of  the  second  step 
with  few  modifications.  For  this  reason  it  was  prescribed  that 
there  should  be  a  registrc;uion  board  of  three  members  for  each 
county  and  for  each  group  of  30,000  in  each  city  of  over  30.000 
population.  T'.-.e  second  paragraph  of  section  4  of  the  selec- 
tive-servica  act  prescribes  a  mandatory  organization  for  ex- 
emption boards.  It  is  confidently  expected  that  in  the  large 
iTiajority  of  cases  registration  boards  as  created  by  the  various 
governors  can  be  continued  as  exemption  boards  after  appoint- 
ment by  the  President,  but  reports  from  many  of  the  States 
•indicate  variations  from  the  plan  thus  laid  down  in  registration 
regulations.  These  variations  make  it  Impossible  to  designate 
by  a  blanket  President's  order  the  registration  boards  as  the 


12 


REPORT  OF  THE  PROVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


local  boards  of  exemption  prescribed  in  section  4.  It  is  now 
desirable  for  every  State  to  prepare  to  create  a  system  of  local 
boards  Avhicli  sbnll  be  in  precise  accord  with  the  requirements 
of  the  second  pnragraph  of  section  4. 

Your  uominations  for  this  system  should  be  in  the  hands  of 
the  President  on  or  before  June  7  in  order  that  he  can  appoint 
the  whole  machinery  of  local  boards  for  the  second  stage  of  the 
execution  of  the  law.  It  will  be  necessary  to  observe  strictly 
the  following  rules :  Each  city  of  over  45.000  must  be  divided 
into  subdivisions  containing  approximately  30,000  of  the  popu- 
lation. Each  county  whose  population,  exclusive  of  cities  of 
o\cr  30,000  population,  exceeds  45,000  must  be  divided  into  sub- 
divisions each  containing  approximately  30,000  of  the  popu- 
lation of  such  county.  In  making  these  subdivisions  care  must 
be  taken  not  to  cross  county,  city,  or  registration  district  lines. 
This  is  necessary  to  delineate  jurisdictional  areas  and  insure 
that  the  cards  of  any  subdivision  can  be  readily  segregated  to 
that  subdivision.  For  each  county,  for  each  city  of  over  30,000, 
and  for  each  subdivision  in  either  cities  or  counties  of  over 
ir.oiio  .-i  board  shall  be  nominated  by  the  governor,  to  consist 
i^f  llnce  members,  none  of  whom  shall  he  conue<'ted  with  the 
Military  Establishment,  to  be  chosen  from  among  the  local 
authorities  of  such  subdivision  or  from  other  citizens  residing 
in  tlie  area  or  subdivision  over  which  the  board  to  which  they 
arc  nominated  shall  have  jurisdiction.  At  least  one  of  the 
members  unist  be  a  physician  in  A\h()m  the  governor  feels  that 
he  can  repose  implicit  confidence. 

In  the  niajorily  of  States  little  or  no  change  will  be  neces- 
sary from  thi^  orsTinizntion  already  erected  hy  the  governor  for 
the  puriiosc  of  rcgisti.ition,  but,  in  order  that  complete  infor- 
mation may  be  available  to  the  President,  he  desires  to  receive 
a  complete  list  of  the  governors'  nonjinations  from  every  State 
in  the  Union  on  or  before  June  7.  This  li.st  must  be  in  precise 
accord  with  tlip  forepning  nilos.  which  are  prescribed  by  stat- 
ute and  ri-.M)i  wIimIi  ,1,1  vnri:iti.»n-^  ."ni  bo  pcj-niitted.  The  lists 
should  sliMi'  I'l'i  llu  ;i:iiih'  li'  iilli.'!-  .U^iignntion  of  each  county 
or  city  or  siiliili\  i^ioii  tlicrcif :  scri.iiil,  tho  names  of  the  persons 
nominated  by  the  governors  to  be  appointed  by  the  President  as 
members  of  the  local  boards  for  each  county  or  city  or  sub- 
division thereof,  with  a  statement  of  the  official  position,  if 
any.  held  by  each  of  such  persons. 

The  necessity  for  an  expeditious  and  decentralized  selection 
of  the  membership  of  exemption  hoards  is  necessary  for  the 
following  reasons : 

First.  Our  time  is  limited.  The  organization  of  a  country 
of  100.000.000  people  for  such  a  task  as  oin-s  is  a  colossal  un- 
dertaking. It  cnii  bo  oxiioiliiiously  accomplished  in  only  one 
wa.v — deceutrali'/.iition.  Tlicre  is  no  need  to  attempt  to  draw 
the  picture  of  a  bureau  of  appointment  in  Washington  for  the 
constitution,  organization,  and  control  of  some  four  thousand 
'icm\  boards,  and  the  confusion,  comiilications,  and  unwieldi- 
ness  l^'at  wotild  ensue.  Witliout  reliable  means  for  informing 
ourselves  0^  the  character  of  candidates,  without  prompt 
facility  for  comMunication.  in  the  face  of  a  necessity  to  create 
•1  lu.iv  Fe<lernl  machlue  with  points  of  contact  in  every  county 
Xntiun.  we  shou>l  be  confronted  witb  a  la--';  \vlio<;p 
.■.■l::iiiiral  accompHshrrvarits  would  reqiiiro  iiionUi^  of 
I  ..  ..  .Aid  aa  enormous  expenditure  Of  money,  mid  il  is  not  an 
exlraviiganee  to  say  that  for  the  lack  o?  JJieu  furnislied  under 
the  selective-service  law  we  should  be  losfrtf?  battles  on  the 
field  of  France  sometime  next  spring  while  we  sontinued  to 
struggle  with  the  constitution  and  organization  of  thes^  bpards. 

Second.  The  difficulty  of  centralization  is  not  meehaifkal 
alone.  The  law  we  have  to  execute  demands  a  .sacrifice. 
Under  our  dual  form  of  government  we  Ii;iv(>  ovorywliore,  side 
by  side,  two  systems,  and,  to  a  certain  oxtcnl,  two  routers  of 
interest,  loyalty,  obligation,  and  devotion.  At  the  very  begin- 
ning of  our  task  we  decided  to  adopt  a  method  which  was 
designed  to  link  these  two  systems  together  in  a  combined 


pull  in  a  single  direction  and  to  avoid  sedulously  any  sug- 
gestion of  putting  them  In  opposition,  or  even  of  letting  the 
State  systems  also  serve  by  only  standing  and  waiting. 

The  vital,  the  truly  tremendous  value  of  this  decision  justi- 
fies itself  more  completely  every  day.  There  were  two  ways 
to  take  our  young  men  from  the  States.  One  was  to  let  the 
Federal  Government  go  in  and  extract  them,  and  the  other 
was  to  let  each  State  offer  them.  We  adopted  the  latter 
method.  The  result  of  registration  speaks  for  itself.  The  sys- 
tem is  very  efficient. 

Third.  Study  of  the  Civil  War  draft  acts  and  the  execution 
they  received  reveals  very  cle.niy  tliat  a  centralized  Federal 
system  of  enforcing  such  a  sacrificiiil  law  as  the  one  before  us 
is  n.'l  i-fi'  r]]\v  ;n,il  there  can  be  little  hesitancy  in  saying  that 
the  iiiii'i  •  ic  i  v^toni  on  which  that  draft  was  conducted  re- 
sulted in  ils  piartical  failure. 

The  word  "improper"  is  used  in  designating  that  system 
because  it  i.s  believed  that  our  entire  political  structure  rests 
on  the  basic  principle  of  local  self-government,  and  that  a 
system  for  the  execution  of  a  law  imposing  a  direct  and  uni- 
versal burden  which  neglects  to  apply  that  principle  just  as 
far  as  it  can  be  applied  is  an  "  improper  "  system  f»r  us. 

It  is  thought  that  at  the  completion  ©f  our  work  •f  organiza- 
tion we  should  find  a  machine  for  the  turning  out  of  recruits 
in  each  State.  When  men  are  needetl.  the  governor  of  the 
State  will  be  called  upon  by  the  Federal  Government  for  the 
number  of  men  required  from  bis  St:ite  and  he  will  proceed 
to  set  the  m.achine  in  operation  and  continue  it  until  the  neces- 
sary quota  is  furnished.  That  machine  should  consist  of 
boards  chosen  from  the  residents  of  each  locality  who  shall 
operate  under  the  direction  of  the  President  and  the  super- 
vision of  the  governor  in  all  functions  save  that  of  determining 
exemptions.  In  this  latter  function  they  will  be  under  very 
direct  Federal  supervision  and  through  the  medium  of  the 
Fpderal  district  board. 

In  elfect  we  shall  have  the  same  sort  of  executive  machine 
that  we  had  for  the  registration.  The  law  is  sseeuted  in  each 
locality  normally  by  lo.  nl  ollkials  ch«.sen  froi«  among  the 
people  upon  whom  tlio  Imnlon  falls.  This  is  self-g»vernment; 
This  is  decentralization  mid  lliis  places  the  State  •rganiz.-itions 
in  line  with  t!io  I'oiloial  organization  working  in  the  same 
direction  with  tlo  s.iinc  purpose  and  to  the  same  end.  In  my 
opinion  we  oaii  uoi  ulTurd  to  do  less  than  this. 

These  considerations  liave  compelled  the  conclusion  that  wo 
must  continue  our  pattern  of  "  supervised  decentralization  " 
to  the  cud.     Wo  must  therefore  place  upon  the  governor  as 

muoli  '    -I MHiiiy  for  the  .selection  of  th«  boards  with  which 

he  li:i     !■    V  .    t.  :i     it  is  po.ssible  to  place  upon  him. 

For  I ;:.-,(  roisoiis  the  governor  of  each  State  has  been  called 
upon  to  submit  for  the  consideration  of  the  President  lists  of 
persons  whom  the  governor  recommends  for  the  constitution  of 
these  local  boards.  Normally  these  lists  are  c©«p©sed  of  local 
officials  chosen  hy  the  people  themselves,  but  the  governor  has 
been  allowed  a  latitude  of  discretion  in  departing  from  this 
ex  officio  personnel  whenever  in  his  discretion  such  departure 
is  advisable. 

This  is  not  only  the  .system  of  appointment,  it  is  the  system 
of  administration  that  has  been  selected  after  full  considera- 
tion and  because  it  offers  the  swiftest  and  most  effective  execu- 
tion of  the  law,  and  seems  to  remove  the  consideration  of  par- 
tisan politics  as  far  as  it  can  be  removed  from  the  .selection  and 
the  action  of  these  boards. 

At  the  completion  of  our  organization  we  expect  to  find  in 
each  State  a  complete  machine  for  the  furnishing  of  that 
S  title's  share  of  the  men  necessary  to  the  common  defense. 
Upon  a'nj"  call  the  governor  shall  set  this  machine  in  action 
and  continiie  tP  operate  it  until  the  State  quota  is  full.  In 
a  word,  it  is  nof  proposed  that  the  Federal  Government  s?.all 
go  into  the  State  as  snch  and  extract  men.    It  is  proposed  that 


BEPOET   OF   THE   PROVOST  MAESHAL   GENERAL.

the  State  shall  offer  men.  To  this  end  the  President  has  called 
upon  the  governors  of  the  several  States  to  nominate  the 
personnel  of  the  local  boards  from  among  local  officials,  or 
if  considered  best  by  the  governor,  from  other  citizens  resi- 
dent in  the  respective  areas  over  which  those  boards  shall  have 
jurisdiction.  By  reason  of  the  ministerial  character  of  the 
duties  of  these  local  boards,  the  matter  of  their  selection 
was  not  so  grave  a  thing  as  the  next  step  in  the  organization 
of  the  Nation  for  the  execution  of  the  selective-service  law. 
I  refer  to  the  constitution  and  organization  of  the  boards  for 
the  Federal  judicial  districts  within  each  of  the  several  States. 

To  district  boards  will  be  intru-sted  the  solution  of  one  of 
the  most  vital  problems  of  the  war.  Two  thing  are  to  be 
accomplished — to  raise  armies ;  to  maintain  industries.  As  the 
war  proceeds,  more  and  more  men  will  be  required  for  the 
battle  line,  and  yet  there  are  certain  Industries  that  must  be 
maintained  to  the  end.  Any  considerahle  diminution  of  man 
power  must  interfere  to  some  extent  with  industry.  The 
diminution  must  be  njade  and  hence  it  is  self-evident  that  the 
problem  is  not  absolutely  to  prevent  interference  with  industry, 
for  that  is  impossible;  it  is  to  reduce  interference  to  a  mini- 
mum. A  balance  must  be  struck  aud  maintained  between  the 
military  aud  the  industrial  needs  of  the  Nation  aud  the  neces- 
sary sacrifice  must  be  distributed  with  scientific  accuracy  and 
in  such  a  way  as  to  accomplish  both  purposes  of  the  Nation. 
The  very  statement  of  the  problem  demonstrates  most  forcibly 
that  in  making  this  economic  balance  it  is  the  interest  of  tlie 
Nation  solely  that  must  he  subserved;  that  the  interest  of  in- 
dividuals or  associations  of  individuals  can  not  be  considered 
as  such,  and  indeed,  can  only  benefit  from  the  action  of  dis- 
trict boards  where  the  individual  interest  happens  to  coincide 
with  the  interest  of  the  Nation. 

Enough  has  been  said  to  predicate  a  conclusion  as  to  what 
the  members  of  these  boards  ought  to  be  and  to  leave  evident 
without  saying  what  they  ought  not  to  be. 

First.  They  must  be  men  possessing  mentality,  experience, 
and  information  that  will  enable  them  to  solve  the  very  diffi- 
cult economical  problem  of  striking  a  balance  between  military 
and  industrial  necessity. 

Second.  They  must  be  men  of  such  stability,  patriotism,  and 
integrity  as  will  insure  the  interests  of  the  Nation  against  the 
urging  of  private  claim. 

There  is  instantly  suggested  that  to  fill  these  requisites  we 
must  have  representatives  of  the  most  important  national  in- 
dustries. Since  district  boards  also  sit  as  boards  of  review 
of  the  action  of  local  boards  aud  must  exercise  a  self-executing 
review  over  all  such  action  and  since  action  on  claims  of  physi- 
cal disability  will  be  a  considerable  matter  of  review,  there 
must  be  a  physician  on  each  of  these  boards.  For  obvious  rea- 
sons there  should  be  one  lawyer. 

The  normal  composition  of  these  boards  is  five  members. 
Where  the  number  of  cases  for  their  consideration  will  be 
great,  the  membership  must  be  increased  proportionately  by 
groups  of  five,  each  of  such  groups  to  comprise  a  division  of 
the  board  composed  of  representatives  of  the  same  industries 
and  professions  as  are  to  be  found  in  the  normal  group. 

This  composition  of  the  normal  board  should  be  as  follows : 

One  member  who  is  in  close  touch  with  the  agricultural  situa- 
tion of  the  district. 

One  member  who  is  in  close  touch  with  the  industrial  situa- 
tion of  the  district. 

Cue  member  who  is  in  close  touch  with  labor. 

One  physician. 

One  lawyer. 

In  districts  where  there  are  no  considerable  industries  other 
than  agriculture  or  where  there  is  no  considerable  agriculture, 
a  representative  of  general  business  may  be  named  instead  of 
a  representative  of  industry  or  of  agi'iculture,  as  the  case 
may  be. 


The  selective-service  act  lays  upon  the  President  the  duty  of 
creating  and  establishing  these  boards  and  appointing  the  mem- 
bers thereof.  While  tlie  problem  is  one  that  arises  from  the 
necessity  of  the  Nation,  its  resolution  must  affect  each  of  the 
States  very  directly.  The  President  has  need,  therefore,  of 
your  counsel  and  advice  in  this  matter.  He  desires  that  you 
submit  to  him,  as  a  field  for  his  selection,  a  list  of  the  names 
of  men  of  your  State  who  possess  the  requisite  I  have  outlined 
and  whom  you  can  recommeiid  for  the  high  and  solemn  func- 
tions of  these  boards. 

Upon  the  conditions  thus  stated  and  the  information  herein 
contained  you  will  be  able  to  meet  the  grave  responsibility  that 
is  being  tendered  you.  The  proper  selection  of  members  of 
these  boards  is  one  of  the  most  vital  necessities  of  the  na- 
tional defense,  since  upon  their  motion  equally  depends  the 
maintenance  of  the  industries  of  the  country  and  the  selec- 
tion of  the  armies  by  which  these  industries  and  the  whole 
Nation  are  to  be  defended.  The  matter  is,  therefore,  essen- 
tially a  war  measure  of  defense.  In  the  steps  you  have  already 
taken  to  organize  your  State  for  war,  you  have  created  a 
council  of  defense.  No  doubt  this  council  will  be  of  great 
service  to  you  in  arriving  at  your  decision. 

The  President  desires  that  you  consider  this  as  the  bearing 
of  the  Nation's  problem  on  the  area  aud  the  people  within 
your  State.  He  will  view  your  recommendations  as  your 
resolution  of  that  problem  and  will  give  them  the  most  earnest 
and  thoughtful  consideration.  The  necessity  for  an  early  re- 
ceipt of  your  recommendation  arises  from  the  lu'gent  demand 
of  all  circumstances  that  the  organization  of  the  country  for 
the  execution  of  the  selective-service  law  shall  be  completed 
at  the  earliest  practicable  moment. 

The  adjustment  to  the  selection  of  the  administra- 
tive mechanism  ah-eady  erected  for  the  registration 
was  of  subsidiary  importance  to  the  task  that  now 
confronted  the  office  of  the  Provost  Marshal  General — 
the  formulation  of  the  regulations  that  should  gov- 
ern the  selection. 

Ten  million  men  were  to  be  affected,  and  the  execu- 
tion of  the  Selective-Service  Law  was  certain  to  in- 
vade, with  more  or  less  direct  effect,  practically  every 
American  home.  In  the  most  sacred  sentiment  of  our 
family  life,  the  execution  of  the  law  was  to  have  a 
very  direct  bearing,  and  in  the  more  practical  eco- 
nomical aspect  a  discriminating  administration  was  of 
vital  importance. 

The  immediate  and  emergent  problem  was  to  make 
the  withdrawal  in  such  a  way  as  to  wreak  the  least 
disturbance.  The  obvious  way  to  accomplish  tliis  was 
so  to  frame  the  regulations  that,  from  the  whole 
10,000,000  registrants  rendered  liable  to  military  ser- 
vice, we  should  skim  away  the  precise  number  on  the 
first  draft  that  could  be  spared  with  the  least  inter- 
ference with  our  varied  industries.  Upon  the  slight- 
est reflection,  the  proposition  demonstrates  itself  that 
to  accomplish  this  result  an  examination  into  the  cir- 
cumstances of  each  of  the  10,000,000  registrants  would 
be  necessary.  Under  the  conditions  of  the  problem 
as  they  were  then  presented,  this  was  obviously  im- 
possible. The  responsibility  was  upon  the  office  of 
the  Provost  Mai'shal  General  to  produce  men  as  rap- 
idly as  they  could  be  accommodated  and  absorbed 
by  the  Army;  and  the  information  then  furnished 


14 


EEPOET   OF   THE  PROVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


by  the  War  Department  was  to  the  effect  that  the 
Army  would  be  prepared  to  receive  a  first  call  of 
over  half  a  million  men  during  the  month  of  Sep- 
tember, 1917.  To  inquire  with  discriminating  delib- 
eration into  the  cases  of  10,000,000  registrants  within 
that  time  was  simply  out  of  the  question. 

Eeserving,  therefore,  the  right  to  make  other  dis- 
positions as  soon  as  it  could  possibly  be  done,  the 
problem  was  to  evolve  an  expedient  stop-gap  which 
should  produce  the  first  contingent  within  the  time 
allowed.  A  plan  was  therefore  formulated  which, 
while  protecting  the  necessary  individuals  engaged  in 
industi'y  and  agriculture,  under  regulations  imposing 
upon  no  considerable  enterprise  a  dangerous  burden, 
would  be  stringent  enough  to  evolve  the  necessary 
contingent  by  September  1.  The  first  draft  was  for 
687,000  men;  and,  after  the  most  careful  computation, 
it  was  estimated  that  about  3,000,000  cases  could  be 
examined  under  the  system  planned  within  the  time 
at  our  disposal.  The  pi'oblem  then  was  to  gauge  the 
regulations  to  these  conditions,  and  to  evolve  a  set  of 
rules  just  stringent  enough  to  select  687,000  men 
from  among  the  3,000,000  who  stood  earliest  in  the 
order  of  liability. 

Even  under  such  a  resolution  as  this,  the  preparation 
of  regulations  which  could  be  capable  of  administra- 
tion by  men,  not  necessarily  skilled  in  legal  formalism, 
Avas  an  intricate  and  difficult  task.  The  formulation 
of  these  regulations  along  the  lines  just  indicated  was 
undertaken  and  accomplished  with  the  utmost  expedi- 
tion possible.  Such  of  them  as  governed  the  steps 
preliminary  to  the  actual  selection  were  promulgated 
early  in  June,  by  separate  pamphlets,  to  the  newly  con- 
stituted selection  boards,  and  the  final  approved  vol- 
ume was  disseminated  on  the  last  day  of  that  month. 

On  that  date  the  process  of  selection  was  instituted 
througliout  continental  and  contiguous  United  States. 

THE  DRAWING  OF  ORDER  NUMBERS. 

One  of  the  most  difficult  tasks  that  always  attends  a 
selection  from  a  mass  of  men  whose  obligation  before 
the  law  are  all  equal  was  the  determination  of  the 
order  of  liability  to  examination  and  selection.  The 
problem  is  not  new.  History  abounds  with  examples. 
Decimation,  or  the  arbitrary  selection  of  every  tenth 
man,  is  a  not  infrequent  method;  but  there  is  an  ata- 
vistic appeal  in  the  wager  of  hazard  which  springs 
pei'haps  from  some  lurking  idea  of  divine  interven- 
tion in  the  appeal  to  chance.  The  problem  was  solved 
during  the  Civil  War  period  by  local  application  of 
the  jury-wheel  system,  but  charges  of  manipulation 
and  fraud  were  at  that  period  plentiful.  It  was  felt 
that  a  different  method  should  be  adopted  in  the  in- 
stant case,  and  that,  if  one  central  lottery  in  Washing- 
ton could  be  fairly  arranged  under  circumstances  ad- 
mitting of  no  suggestion  of  favoritism,  the  effect 
would  be  beneficial. 


The  circumstances  were  readily  adaptable  to  the  idea. 
Each  registration  card  deposited  with  each  local  board 
was  numbered  in  a  separate  series  for  each  board,  and 
this  afforded  an  opportunity  for  a  selection  from 
among  many  kinds  of  drawing.  With  an  idea  of  pre- 
venting possible  manipulation,  it  had  been  prescribed 
that  the  cards  for  each  board  should  be  numbered 
without  regard  to  alphsbetical  arrangement  of  names 
of  registrants.  It  was  thought  that  this  requirement 
would  have  resulted  in  so  thorough  a  shuffling  that  a 
single  drawing  of  the  numbers  from  1  to  1,000  would 
result  in  an  order  of  recurrence  of  integers,  in  num- 
bers of  less  than  three  figures,  such  that  the  numbers 
so  drawn  could  be  applied  to  the  cards  within  the 
jurisdiction  of  any  board  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  an 
absolutely  fair  sequence  of  liability. 

Four  sejJarate  plans  for  determining  order  of  lia- 
bility had  been  worked  out  in  their  uttermost  detail, 
and,  while  it  had  been  decided  to  adopt  the  single 
drawing  of  1,000  numbers,  three  other  jjlans  were  on 
file.  The  details  of  the  proposed  plan  of  drawing 
were  nevertheless  held  secret,  not  because  any  fraudu- 
lent manipulation  was  possible,  but  to  guard  against 
even  a  suggestion  of  such  a  po.ssibility. 

On  the  eve  of  the  national  drawing,  however,  it  was 
discovered  that  in  one  State  (under  instructions  that 
easily  admitted  of  the  unintended  construction  placed 
upon  them)  numbers  had  been  assigned  to  cards  in 
absolute  sequence  in  precincts  and  districts  within  the 
jurisdiction  of  each  local  board,  with  a  possible  result 
that  a  central  drawing  of  1,000  numbers  would  have 
effected  a  localization  of  the  draft  in  single  voting 
precincts  to  the  exclusion  of  other  precincts  within  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  same  local  board.  This  required  a 
change  in  the  draft  plan  ovei-night. 

Under  the  precautions  that  had  been  taken  it  was 
necessary  only  to  advert  to  one  of  the  other  fidly 
prepared  plans,  so  that,  without  the  slightest  delay 
or  disturbance,  a  drawing  was  held  of  numbers  corre- 
sponding to  the  highest  sequence  of  numbers  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  any  local  board,  viz,  10,500  num- 
bers. These  numbers  Avere  stamped  on  slips  of  paper. 
To  prevent  confusion  each  slip  of  paper  was  inclosed 
in  a  black  capsule,  and  the  10,000  capsules  were  placed 
indiscriminately  in  a  large  glass  bowl  and  thoroughly 
mixed  with  a  ladle.  The  numbers  were  then  drawn 
out  publicly,  one  at  a  time,  by  blindfolded  men, 
siDccially  selected  from  among  students  at  the  various 
universities.  The  order  in  which  any  number  was 
drawn  from  the  bowl  was  recorded  by  six  tallymen, 
and  determined  the  relative  order  of  liability  of  the 
man  whose  card  bore  that  number  in  the  sequences  in 
which  numbers  had  previously  been  assigned  to  the 
registration  cards  within  the  jurisdiction  of  each  local 
board. 

The  drawing  took  place  on  Friday,  July  20,  in  the 
public  hearings  room  of  the  Senate  Office  Building. 


EEPORT   OF   a?HE  PEOVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


15 


The  first  number,  258,  was  drawn  by  the  Secretary  of 
War.  Aiid  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  one  of  the 
holders  of  that  number  was,  before  the  end  of  the 
month — July — inducted  into  the  military  service  of 
the  United  States  and  had  reported  for  military  duty 
at  Washington  Barracks. 

As  soon  as  the  order  of  liability  had  been  thus  de- 
termined each  of  the  4,557  local  boards  began,  most 
assiduously,  the  task  of  evolving  their  quotas  of  se- 
lected men  under  the  hurriedly  prepared  selection  rules 
and  regulations. 

V. 

APPOETIONMENT  OF  ttTJOTAS  AND  ALLOCATION  OF 
CREDITS. 

Meantime  the  process  of  calculation  and  apportion- 
ment of  quotas  had  been  proceeding. 

1.  Statutory  rule. — The  selective-service  act,  after 
empowering  the  President  to  raise  by  draft  certain 
military  forces  enumerated  in  the  act,  provides: 

Sec.  2.  *  *  *  Such  draft  «  *  *  shall  take  place  and 
be  maintained  under  such  regulations  as  the  President  may 
prescribe  not  inconsistent  with  the  terms  of  this  act.  Quotas 
for  the  several  States,  Territories,  and  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia, or  subdivisions  tliereof,  shall  be  determined  in  propor- 
tion to  the  population  thereof,  and  credit  shall  be  given  to  any 
State,  Territory,  district,  or  subdivision  thereof,  for  the  num- 
ber of  men  who  were  in  the  military  service  of  the  United 
States  as  members  of  the  National  Guard  on  April  first,  nine- 
teen hundred  and  seventeen,  or  who  have  since  said  date 
entered  the  military  service  of  the  United  States  from  any 
such  State,  Territory,  district,  or  subdivision,  either  as  mem- 
bers of  the  Regular  Army  or  the  National  Guard.     •     *     * 

Sec.  4.  *  *  *  Notwithstanding  *  *  *  exemptions  *  *  *, 
each  State,  Territory,  and  the  District  of  Columbia  shall  be 
required  to  supply  its  quota  in  the  proportion  that  its  popula- 
tion bears  to  the  total  population  of  the  United  States. 

The  apportionment  of  quotas  and  credits  was  de- 
termined in  accordaince  with  regulations  governing 
the  apportionment  of  quotas  and  credits  prescribed 
by  the  President  on  July  5, 1917,  by  virtue  of  authority 
yested  in  him  by  the  terms  of  the  selective-service  act. 

2.  Calculation  of  national  total  to  he  raised. — For 
the  iDurpose  of  apportioning  quotas  to  the  States  and 
Territories  and  the  District  of  Columbia  there  was 
added  to  the  total  number  of  men  687,000,  to  be  raised 
by  the  first  draft  under  the  selective-service  act;  the 
further  mimber  of  465,985  thus  composed:  (a)  164,292 
men  who  were  in  the  military  service  of  the  United 
States  as  members  of  the  National  Guard  on  April  1, 
1917;  (h)  183,719  men  who  entered  the  military  service 
of  the  United  States  as  members  of  the  National 
Guard  during  the  period  from  April  2  to  June  30, 
1917,  both  dates  inclusive;  and  (c)  117,974  men  who 
entered  the  military  service  of  the  United  States  as 
members  of  the  Regular  Army  during  the  period  from 
April  2  to  June  30,  1917,  both  dates  inclusive,  making 
1,152,985   in   all. 

This  addition  was  necessary  in  order  to  secure  the 
number  to  be  raised  as  fixed  in  the  President's  call. 


If  only  the  687,000  had  been  treated  as  the  gross 
quota,  and  the  credits  of  465,985  had  then  been  de- 
ducted from  this  total,  the  number  raised  would  have 
been  only  221,015,  and  a  further  draft  would  then 
have  been  necessary  for  raising  the  465,985  lacking. 
Hence  this  number — 465,985 — was  first  added  to  the 
687,000  to  give  the  gross  quota  ;  then,  upon  apportion- 
ing  this  gross  quota  among  the  jurisdictions,  pur- 
suant to  the  statute,  and  deducting  the  credits  for  each 
jurisdiction  from  its  gross  quota,  the  net  quota  of  all 
jurisdictions  thus  obtained  -would,  when  added  to- 
gether, produce  the  number  required  to  be  raised,  viz, 
687,000. 

3.  Allocations  of  credits.— The  credits  above  enum- 
erated included  enlisted  men  only.  Class  (a)  in- 
cluded and  was  limited  to  all  men  who  on  April  1, 
1917,  were  enlisted  in  National  Guard  organizations 
then  recognized  by  the  Militia  Bureau  of  the  War 
Department;  and  class  (&)  included  and  was  limited 
to  all  men  who  during  the  period  of  April  2  to  June 
30,  1917,  both  dates  inclusive,  enlisted  in  National 
Guard  organizations  recognized  by  said  bureau  or  who 
during  that  period  became  enlisted  national  guards- 
men as  members  of  new  units  recognized  during  the 
period  by  the  bureau.  Each  of  these  classes  in- 
cluded all  enlisted  men  within  the  description,  irre- 
spective of  whether  they  were  actively  in  Federal  serv- 
ice or  only  subject  as  national  guardsmen  to  be  drafted 
into  such  service. 

It  is  to  be  noted  that  in  apportioning  quotas  and 
credits  no  credit  was  given  for  enlistments  in  the  naval 
service,  in  the  Marine  Corps,  in  the  Federal  Reserve 
Corps,  or  in  the  National  Guard  Reserves.  This  was 
due  to  the  fact  that  the  statutory  provision  for  the 
allowance  of  credits  was  limited  to  credits  based  upon 
enlisted  membership  in  the  National  Guard  on  April 
1  and  upon  enlistments  in  the  National  Guard  and  the 
Regular  Army  after  April  1. 

The  aggregate  number  of  men  of  classes  (a)  and  (&) 
from  each  State  and  Territory  and  the  District  of 
Columbia  was  determined  by  the  Chief  of  the  Militia 
Bureau  of  the  War  Department;  and  the  aggregate 
number  of  men  of  class  (c)  from  each  State  and  Ter- 
ritory and  the  District  of  Columbia  was  determined 
by  the  Provost  Marshal  General  from  information 
supplied  by  The  Adjutant  General  of  the  Army.  The 
sum  of  these  items  for  any  jurisdiction  was  its  gross 
credit. 

The  average  percentage  of  credit  for  such  enlist- 
ments for  the  United  States  was  40.42  per  cent  on  the 
national  gross  quota  to  be  raised  under  the  President's 
call.  The  percentage  of  enlistment  credits  to  gross 
quota  for  the  several  States  is  shown  in  Appendix 
Table  A.  The  State  showing  the  highest  percentage 
was  Oregon;  the  State  showing  the  lowest  percentage 
was  Oklahoma;  of  the  Territories  Hawaii  figured  as 
the  highest  and  Porto  Rico  as  the  lowest.

But  it  is  to  be  remembered  that  in  several  respects 
the  percentage  of  enlistment  credits,  figured  accord- 
ing to  the  statutory  mandate,  ignores  a  number  of 
important  elements  which  should  be  taken  into  con- 
sideration in  estimating  at  their  true  level  the  respec- 
tive zeal  of  the  several  communities  in  making  their 
contributions  of  men  to  the  national  cause  without 
\."aiting  the  operation  of  the  selective  service  law.  In 
the  first  place,  the  conditions  aiJecting  the  credits  to 
be  given  for  National  Guard  enlistments  were  abnor- 
mal in  some  localities;  for  example,  in  Hawaii  abnor- 
mal conditions  increased  the  credits  and  in  Porto  Rico 
abnormal  conditions  diminished  the  credits ;  moreover, 
in  several  of  the  States  numei'ous  analogous  considera- 
tions, too  detailed  to  permit  of  elaboration  in  this 
place,  affected  the  credits  given.  Furthermore,  the 
statutory  credits  did  not  include  enlistments  in  any 
branch  of  the  Naval  Service,  nor  enlistments  in  any 
blanch  of  the  Army  since  June  30,  nor  enlistments  at 
au}'  time  in  the  ilarine  Corps,  the  Officers'  Eeserve 
Corps,  or  the  National  Guard  Reserves.  In  order, 
therefore,  to  set  forth  with  more  approximate  accu- 
racy, the  relative  actual  contributions,  in  men,  of  the 
several  States,  Appendix  Table  B  shows  the  per- 
centages of  such  actual  contributions,  reckoned  on  the 
same  original  gross  quota.  From  this  Table  B  it  ap- 
pears that  the  State  having  the  highest  percentage  of 
actual  contributions  was  Oregon;  the  lowest  was  South 
Carolina. 

4.  Appo)'tion7nent  of  State  quota. — The  number  of 
rnen  required  of  each  State  or  Territory  or  the  District 
of  Columbia  as  its  share,  proportionate  to  population, 
of  the  national  total,  has  been  laiowh  as  its  (/ross 
quota;  and  the  number  of  men  required  of  each  such 
State,  Territory,  or  District,  after  deducting  the 
credits  for  men  in  classes  {a),  (6),  and  {c).  has  been 
known  as  its  net  quota. 

The  Federal  apportionment  was  made  on  July  12, 
1917.  This  date,  or  one  substantially  neitlier  earlier 
nor  later  was  necessarily  taken.  No  earlier  date  was 
needful  or  feasible,  because  the  local  boards  were  not 
fiilly  organized  and  equipped  for  work,  throughout 
tlie  country,  until  the  end  of  June.  No  later  date  was 
possible,  because  the  boards  could  not  proceed  to  raise 
the  required  men  until  they  were  informed  how  many 
men  were  to  be  raised  by  each,  and  they  could  not  be 
informed  until  the  net  quota  had  been  definitely  and 
finally  fixed  by  subtracting  credits  from  gross  quota. 
Hence,  the  date  of  June  30  was  taken  as  the  last  day  on 
which  to  allow  (on  this  draft)  the  credits  for  enlist- 
ments. After  a  brief  time  needed  for  receiving  and 
tabulating  the  reports  of  enlistments,  the  calcidation 
was  made.  Thus  it  was  that  the  earliest  date  on  which 
the  apportionment  could  be  made  was  July  12,  and 
no  change  of  the  State  quota  was  needful  or  feasible 
after  that  date.     A  further  time,  however,  was  re- 


quired for  the  calculation,  by  the  governors,  of  the 
ai^portionment  of  the  State  and  Territorial  quotas 
among  the  several  counties  and  cities.  When  this 
process  had  been  completed,  and  not  feasibly  until 
th<?n,  the  arrangements  were  made  for  the  dravving  of 
the.  order  numbers  at  Washington. 

The  total  number  of  men  to  be  apportioned  was 
1,152,985.  Gross  quotas  were  apportioned  to  the  sev- 
eral States  and  Territories  and  the  District  of  Co- 
Inmbia'^n  proportion  to  the  population  thereof  on  Jul}' 
1,  1917,  as  determined  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  of 
the  Department  of  Commerce.  To  determine  the  net 
quota  there  was  first  deducted  from  the  gross  quota  of 
each  State,  Territory,  or  District  the  gross  credit  due 
such  State,  Territory,  or  District  on  account  of  the 
enlisted  membership  in  the  National  Guard  and  the 
Regular  Anny.  Tlie  difference  thus  abtained  in  the 
case  of  each  State,  Territorj-,  or  District  would  then 
have  been  the  net  quota  thereef  had  it  not  been  for  the 
fact  that  in  one  jurisdiction,  the  Territory  of  Hawaii, 
the  gross  credit  exceeded  the  gross  queta.  This  fact 
rendered  an  adjustment  necessarj^  That  adjustment 
was  made  by  distributing  to  tke  ©ther  Territories,  the 
States,  and  the  District  of  Celumieia,  in  proportion  to 
population,  the  excess  of  grcss  crecLit  over  gross  quota 
in  the  Territory  of  Havwiii.  The  resnitiiig  difference 
in  each  case  constituted  the  net  quota  required  of  the 
State,  Territory,  or  District, 

5.  Apportionment  of  local  quotas. — Pursuant  to  the 
provisions  of  the  regulations  governing  the  appor- 
tionment of  quotas  and  credits  {in  prescribing  which 
the  President  had  invoked  the  authority  of  the  statute 
to  utilize  the  sen-ices  of  any  or  all  officers  or  agents  of 
the  United  States  and  of  the  several  States  and  Terri- 
tories and  the  District  of  Columbia  in  the  execution  of 
the  selective-service  act)  the  governors  of  the  several 
States  and  Territories  and  >the  Commissioners  of  the 
District  of  Columbia,  acting  for  and  by  direction  of 
the  President,  apportioned  the  draft  Avithin  their  re- 
spective jurisdictions.  The  governor  of  each  State 
and  Territory  first  allocated  to  cities  of  30,000  popu- 
lation or  over,  and  to  comities  exclusive  of  such  cities, 
the  credit  due  each  sucli  county  and  city  on  account  of 
enlisted  membership  in  the  National  Guard,  and  the 
Provost  Marshal  General  furnished  the  governor  of 
each  State  and  Territory  a  statement,  based  upon  in- 
formation supplied  by  The  Adjutant  General  of  the 
Army,  of  the  credit  due  each  such  city  and  county  on 
account  of  enlistments  in  the  Regular  Army.  Each 
governor  then  apportioned  the  gross  quota,  less  any 
adjustment  determined  by  the  Federal  apportionment, 
for  the  State  or  Territory  to  cities  of  30,000  popula- 
tion or  over,  and  to  counties  exclusive  of  such  cities, 
in  proportion  to  population,  as  determined  by  the  gov- 
ernor. He  then  determined  the  net  quota  for  each 
city  or  county  by  deducting  from  the  gross  quota 


20 


KEPOET   OF   THE  PHOVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


thereof  the  gross  credit  to  which  it  was  entitled.  An 
adJDstjTient,  simihvr  to  the  one  mentioned  above  as 
having  been  made  by  tlie  Federal  authorities,  was 
made  for  the  several  counties  and  cities  in  the  case  of 
any  State  or  Territory  in  which  the  gi'oss  credit  of  one 
or  more  cities  of  30,000  population  or  over,  or  one  or 
more  counties  exclusive  of  such  cities,  exceeded  the 
gross  quota  thereof.^ 

The  new  city  and  county  quota  being  thus  reached, 
the  governor  of  each  State  and  Territory  and  the  Com- 
missioners of  the  District  of  Columbia,  as  a  final  step 
in  the  apportionment,  where  a  county  or  city  had  more 
than  one  local  board  apportioned  among  the  several 
local  board  jurisdictions  in  proportion  to  population 
as  determined  by  the  governor  or  the  commissioners, 
the  net  quota  of  sucli  county  or  city. 

6.  Estimates  of  ■po-pulatlon  xvithin  the  States. — A 
tentative  draft  of  the  regulations  governing  the  ap- 
portionment of  quotas  and  credits  had  been  sent  to  all 
governors  on  June  15  and  their  study  and  suggestion 
invited.  Soon  thereafter  a  number  of  governors  made 
inquiry  as  to  whether  estimates  of  poptilation  of 
counties  and  cities  might  not  be  furnished  by  the  Cen- 
sus Bureau  to  aid  them  in  determining  population 
for  apportionment  purposes.  Pursuant  to  these  sug- 
gestions the  Census  Bureau  was  requested  to  furnish 
the  estimates  desired,  which  were  published  in  Form 
18,  P.  M.  G.  O.,  as  of  date  July  1,  1917.  The  gov- 
ernors were,  however,  not  bound  by  these  estimates  in 

■  determining  the  population,  for  apportionment  pur- 
poses, of  the  respective  counties,  cities,  and  local  board 
jurisdictions  within  their  respective  States  and  Terri- 
tories, but  were  at  liberty  to  make  use  of  the  estimates 
and  any  other  information  regarded  by  them  as  re- 
liable in  arriving  at  the  necessary  determination  i-e- 
sjiecting  population. 

7.  No  gross  quota  helow  counties  and  cities. — The 
ultimate  units  considered  in  apportioning  gross  quotas 
and  in  allocating  credits  where  cities  of  30,000  popu- 
lation or  over  and  counties  ex:clusive  of  such  cities;  but 
the  ultimate  units  considered  in  ai^portioning  net 
quotas  were  local  board  jurisdictions.  This  plan  of 
apportioning  quotas  and  allocating  credits  was 
adopted  after  very  careful  consideration  of  the  law 
and  the  administrative  i^hases  of  the  problem.  Very 
few  suggestions  looking  to  a  modification  of  the  plan, 
which  was  embodied  in  the  tentative  regulations  x-e- 
ferred  to  in  the  preceding  paragrajih,  were  received 
from  governors  in  response  to  the  invitation  addressed 
to  them.  Careful  examination  of  the  very  limited 
number  of  suggestions  which  contemplated  making  a 
unit  inferior  to  the  city  or  county  the  ultimate  unit 
for  the  allocation  of  credits  led  to  the  conclusion  that 

'  The  figures  of  gi'oss  and  net  quota  for  all  communities  are 
printed  as  Appendix  Table  45, 


any  such  plan  involved  administrative  difficulties  and 
delays  and  probable  inequities  which  forbade  its  adop- 
tion. 

The  fact  that  the  net  quota  could  not  possibly  be  cal- 
culated till  early  in  July  led  to  certain  unavoidable 
consequences  affecting  a  large  number  of  cities  and 
counties.  As  the  registration  had  to  be  the  first  stage 
in  the  administration  of  the  law,  and  the  local  board 
areas  for  registration  had  to  be  defined  according  to 
population  (30,000  or  more)  under  the  statutory  re- 
quirements, these  areas  were  defined  according  to  the 
best  estimate  of  pojoulation  then  available.  Otherwise 
the  organization  could  not  have  proceeded.  In  July, 
however,  when  the  apportionment  of  quota  was  made, 
more  accurate  estimates  of  population,  revised  in  the 
light  of  the  registration  figiu-es  of  June  5,  became 
available.  In  the  case  of  some  cities  and  counties  their 
population  was  found  to  be  greater  than  before  esti- 
mated; in  others,  less.  If,  by  the  new  estimates,  a  city 
formerly  estimated  at  less  was  now  found  to  have  more 
than  30,000  population,  it  now  received  an  independent 
local  board  (pursuant  to  sec.  4  of  the  act),  and  its  net 
quota  was  apportioned  on  such  basis  of  population. 
Nevertheless,  inasmuch  as  all  enlistments  proceeding 
during  April,  May,  and  Jime  had  been  reckoned  and 
credited  on  the  basis  of  the  original  subdivision,  such 
enlistment  credits  had  to  be  credited  in  mass  to  the 
county  at  large  of  which  such  city  had  figured  as  ^ 
part  in  the  original  organization.  Thus,  though  its  en- 
listments might  have  been  relatively  large,  it  received 
no  independent  credits  for  them  apart  from  its  frac- 
tional share  of  the  gross  county  credits,  while  its  net 
quota  debit  was  reckoned  on  the  basis  of  its  own  ]Jopu- 
lation  as  an  independent  unit. 

Through  not  always  perceiving  the  total  impossi- 
bility of  avoiding  this  occasional  result,  a  few  commu- 
nities experienced  dissatisfaction.  Nevertheless,  the 
patriotic  sj^irit  which  had  supplied  such  an  overshare 
of  enlistments  must  have  sufficed  to  content  them  with 
the  glorious  distinction  of  surpassing  other  communi- 
ties in  the  sacrifice  made  to  a  noble  and  national  cause. 
And,  after  all  is  said  and  done,  the  niunber  and  kind  of 
sacrifices  and  contributions  voluntarily  made  in  other 
ways  were  so  enonnous  throughout  the  country  that  no 
communitj',  in  the  last  analysis,  would  be  willing  to 
have  its  patriotism  measured  solely  by  the  number  of 
enlistments. 

8.  Aliens. — ^The  iirovisions  of  the  selective-service 
act  requiring  the  apportionment  of  quotas  in  pro- 
portion to  population  are  parallel  to  provisions  re- 
lating to  the  same  subject  in  the  draft  legislation  of 
1863.  As  soon  as  the  estunates  of  population  made 
by  the  Census  Bureau  had  been  received,  it  began  to 
be  apparent  that  the  rule  of  the  selective-service  act, 
which  based  the  apportionment  of  quotas  on  tot^il  pop- 
ulation and  yet  draw  the  draft  quotas  from  citizens  and 


REPORT   OF   THE   PROVQgT  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


21 


declarants  only,  would  operate  quite  differently  upon 
communities  having  largely  differing  percentages  of 
aliens  in  their  population.  In  certain  local  board  jur- 
isdictions, in  which  the  element  of  alien  population 
exceeded  30  per  cent  of  the  total,  the  burden  placed 
upon  the  citizen  population  was  very  great. 

The  matter  received  the  attention  of  the  military 
committees  of  Congress,  and  an  effort  was  made  to 
find  a  more  equitable  rule  for  the  apportionment  of 
quotas.  Two  propositions  were  considered:  One,  to 
base  quotas  upon  the  registration;  and  another  to 
base  quotas  upon  the  citizen  population.  After  some- 
what extended  consideration  both  were  rejected.  The 
first  was  rejected  for  the  I'eason  that  in  so  far  as  the 
distribution  of  the  burden  of  the  draft  under  that 
rule  would  differ  from  the  distribution  according  to 
the  population  it  would  serve  to  require  communities 
in  which  the  registration  had  been  most  complete  to 
furnish  the  largest  proportion  of  men  for  the  Ami}' 
and  to  permit  communities  in  which  for  any  reason 
the  registration  had  been  incomplete  to  profit  in- 
dividually and  locally  by  sending  into  the  service  a 
smaller  proportion  of  men.  The  second  was  rejected 
for  the  reason  that  the  application  of  its  basic  prin- 
ciple would  serve  to  make  the  economic  disturbances 
due  to  the  withdrawal  from  industrial  life  of  men  of 
military  age  increase  in  proportion  to  the  citizen 
population  of  the  communitj'. 

For  example,  if  in  two  communities  of  equal  pop- 
ulation the  citizen  population  of  one  were  100  per  cent 
of  the  whole  and  in  the  other  only  50  per  cent,  the 
remainder  being  composed  of  aliens,  the  two  communi- 
ties, though  equal  in  population,  in  resources,  in 
industries,  and  in  need  of  the  labor,  the  efforts,  and  the 
enterprise  of  men  of  military  age,  would  fall  under  a 
very  unequal  tax  upon  their  man  jJower.  The  all- 
citizen  community  would  be  required  to  furnish  twice 
us  many  men  as  the  half -citizen,  half-alien  community. 
The  unfairness  and  the  undesirability  from  an  eco- 
nomic point  of  view  of  such  a  system  required  no  dem- 
onstration. 

The  result  of  the  consideration  and  discussion  of  the 
apportionment  of  quotas  in  the  earlier  stages  of  the 
execution  of  the  selective-service  act  was  to  leave  the 
legislation  in  its  original  form,  and  to  lead  to  the  pro- 
mulgation of  regulations  which,  while  based  upon  broad 
principles  of  selection,  were  designed  to  synchronize 
the  furnishing  of  men  with  the  military  needs  of  the 
country  and  the  readiness  of  the  AVar  Dei:ftirtment 
to  receive  recruits.  In  the  meantime  the  entire  sub- 
ject has  been  receiving  careful  consideration  and  close 
study,  and  this  office  does  not  despair  of  being  able, 
in  the  light  of  the  classification  now  under  way  and  in 
the  light  of  treaties  now  being  negotiated,  to  suggest 
a  solution  in  the  form  of  a  joint  resolution  which,  if 
enacted,  would  serve  not  only  to  distribute  the  next 
draft  equitably  but  also  to  rectify  earlier  inequities. 


VI. 

THE  SELECTION. 

Quotas  having  been  apportioned,  regulations  and 
instructions  required  each  local  board  to  call  before 
the  board  for  physical  examination,  in  the  order  of 
their  liability,  a  sufficient  number  of  registrants  to 
procure  about  half  the  first  quota  of  the  board.  Two 
hundred  per  cent  of  the  quota  was  computed  to  be 
the  number  necessary  to  this  end. 

Under  ideal  conditions  and  with  a  perfectly  trained 
and  instructed  personnel,  it  would  have  been  advis- 
able to  make  the  selection  a  matter  in  which  the  Gov- 
ernment should  be  the  sole  party  in  interest.  Under 
this  plan,  which  was  strongly  urged  by  men  whose 
opinion  was  entitled  to  respect,  there  would  have 
been  no  such  thing  as  an  "exemption  claim."  The 
boards  would  have  called  each  registrant  in  turn  and 
forthwith  entered  an  inquisitional  procedure  to  deter- 
mine whether  the  registrant  should  be  called  for  serv- 
ice or  continued  at  home.  This  was,  in  the  opinion 
of  this  office,  impracticable.  While  the  principle  was 
deduced  that  no  exemption  authorized  in  the  selective- 
service  law  was  intended  for  the  direct  benefit  of  an 
individual  and  that  every  such  exemption  was  for  the 
sole  benefit  of  the  (government,  the  administrative 
problem  required  a  short,  simple,  and  effective  mech- 
anism for  bringing  pertinent  circumstances  to  the  at- 
tention of  the  examiners;  and  uniformity  of  decision 
was  possible  only  by  a  crystallized  set  of  rules  under 
which  the  boards  could  act. 

It  was  therefore  provided  that  each  registrant  must 
present  a  claim  for  exemption,  under  the  burden  of 
substantiation  of  its  merits.  Seven  da3's  after  notice 
to  the  registrant  that  he  had  been  called  for  pliysical 
examination  was  prescribed  as  the  time  within  which 
the  claim  must  be  presented,  and  in  the  absence  of 
claim  the  registrant  was  deemed  to  have  waived  his 
right  to  claim  exemption,  subject  to  the  power  of  the 
board  to  grant  an  extension  of  time.  The  procedure 
was  necessarily  swift,  but  every  reasonable  opportu- 
nity was  given  for  the  filing  of  claims.  Every  case 
presented  to  the  local  board  was  required  to  be  certified 
to  the  district  board  either  as  exempted  or  held  for 
service  by  the  local  board.  Within  five  days  after  a 
case  had  been  certified  to  the  district  board  the  reg- 
istrant could  make  his  original  claim  on  the  ground 
of  engagement  in  industry  or  agriculture  before  the 
district  board,  or  he  could,  within  10  days  after  such 
certification,  appeal  from  decision  of  tho  local  board 
adverse  to  his  claim  before  the  latter. 

By  this  method  the  number  of  cases  coming  before 
the  district  board  was  reduced  by  the  number  of  cases 
in  which  a  claim  for  exemption  on  the  ground  of  en- 
gagement in  industry  or  agriculture  was  rendered  un- 
necessary because  an  exemption  had  already  been 
granted  on  dependenej' 'or  some  other  ground  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  local  board.

P.EPORT   OF   THE  rEOVOBT  MARSHAL   GENEE-AL. 


Coir.cidcntally  with  the  erection  of  the  selective- 
service  system,  the  War  Department  was  moving  with 
great  expedition  to  erect  the  16  National  Army  can- 
tonments which  were  to  house  the  first  contingent  and 
to  provide  the  necessary  supplies  of  clothing  and 
equipment.  On  August  8  the  War  Department  di- 
rected the  Provost  Marshal  General  to  furnish  30 
per  cent  of  the  first  draft  on  September  1,  30  per 
cent  on  September  15.  30  per  cent  on  September  30, 
and  15  per  cent  as  soon  after  September  30  as  prac- 
ticable. 

The  governors  of  all  States  were  informed  of  this 
requirement,  and  on  August  13  called  upon  for  spe- 
cific reports  as  to  whether  they  would  be  able  to  fill 
their  quotas  on  this  very  expeditious  schedule. 

Administrative  history  offers  few  instances  of  such 
unselfish  and  patriotic  devotion  or  of  such  efficiency, 
in  a  newly  erected  and  untried  sy.stem,  as  was  dis- 
jilayed  by  members  of  local  and  district  boards  in  the 
month  of  August.  Inspired  by  the  appeal  that  had 
been  made  to  them,  based  on  the  apparent  instant  need 
of  the  Army,  the  members  of  these  boards  addressed 
themselves  to  the  task  before  them  with  absolute  self- 
abnegalion.  Working  from  early  morning  until  the 
late  hours  of  the  night,  and  in  very  large  measure 
without  claiming  any  compensation  for  their  labors,  the 
4,557  local  boards  had,  between  July  20  and  August 
25,  heard  and  disposed  of  almost  1,000,000  cases,  or  an 
average  of  70  cases  by  each  board  each  day.  And 
they  had  produced  the  required  result.  Before  Sep- 
tember 1  reports  had  been  received  in  this  office  that 
the  States  were  ready  to  furnish  their  quotas  accord- 
ing to  the  schedule  originally  prescribed  by  the  War 
Department. 

Unexpected  delays  in  the  erection  of  camps  and  the 
accumulation  of  .supplies  caused  such  deferments  of 
the  original  call  that  at  the  date  of  this  report  only 
76  per  cent  of  the  first  quota  has  been  called  to  camp. 
This  delay  was  unfortunate  in  its  effect  upon  men 
who.  having  been  selected  for  military  .service  and 
notified  that  thej^  might  be  called  for  instant  duty, 
under  the  schedule  as  above  described,  had  made  ar- 
rangements to  sever  their  civil  connection  at  about  the 
dates  indicated  for  their  final  call.  But  this  effect 
can  not  be  imputed  to  the  selective-service  system. 

The  most  difficult  problem  of  selection  for  the  local 
boards  was  raised  by  the  question  of  dependency,  and 
especially  in  its  relation  to  married  men  of  draf table 
age.  There  had  been  some  very  significant  debate  in 
the  Senate,  on  consideration  of  the  bill,  as  to  whether 
married  men  should  be  exempted  from  the  first  draft 
as  such,  or  whether  the  determinative  principle  should 
be  dependency,  as  it  had  been  agreed  that  it  should  be 
in  all  other  relationships.  An  amendment  exempting 
married  men  as  such  was  rejected  by  the  Senate  on 
the  direct  issue  that  there  was'  no  equity  in  excusing  a 
married  man  and  necessarily  sending  a  single  man  to 


the  battle  front  in  his  place  when  no  condition  of  de- 
pendency of  the  wife  existed  in  fact.  There  is  much 
to  be  said  on  both  sides  of  this  question,  but  it  was 
for  this  office  to  execute  the  law  and  not  to  debate  it. 
It  may  not  be  amiss  to  remark,  however,  that  the 
net  result  of  the  provision  was  to  extract  from  the 
field  of  persons  who  had  no  claim  of  exemption  other 
than  the  fact  that  they  were  married,  103,115.  And 
of  the  1,294,830  persons  discharged  on  all  possible 
grounds  of  exemption,  748,762,  or  58  per  cent,  were 
discharged  on  the  ground  of  dependency  accruing 
from  marriage.  There  were  1,500,056  married  per-_^ 
sons  called,  and  only  163,115,  or  less  than  11  per  cent, 
chosen. 

The  question  of  actual  dependency  was  left  to  the 
boards  to  determine.  It  can  hardly  be  said  that  local 
boards  composed  of  the  neighbors  of  men  to  be  taken 
for  military  sei-vice  were  not  the  best  conceivable  tri- 
bimals  to  weigh  these  questions  of  dependencj',  or  that 
they  could  not  be  relied  upon  both  to  protect  the  Gov- 
ernment from  the  insistence  of  selfish  and  thoughtless 
claimants  on  the  one  hand,  and  to  treat  each  case  of 
substantial  merit  with  intelligent  and  sympathetic  con- 
sideration on  the  other.  In  by  far  the  majorit]'  of 
boards  this  result  av as  attained,  but  in  a  vei-y  few  in- 
stances, such  an  imcompromising  view  of  the  regula- 
tions and  the  rulings  issued  in  aid  thei'eof  was  taken 
that  some  married  men  were  selected,  leaving  wives 
and  even  children  in  distress. 

It  must  be  recognized  that  there  were  very  great 
difficulties  in  deciding  individual  cases.  A  soldier"? 
pay  is  $30  a  month.  The  provisions  of  the  Avar  risk 
insurance  law  make  it  easily  possible  for  an  American 
soldier  to  allot  for  his  family  during  his  absence 
a  sum  subst'antially  in  excess  of  this  monthly  pay.  In 
many  cases,  especially  among  tenant  farmers  in  certain 
Southern  States  and  among  the  poorer  classes  in  large 
cities  this  is  a  greater  contribution  than  the  registrant 
normally  makes  to  the  support  of  his  family;  and 
considering  the  insiu-ance  feature  of  the  laAv,  it  is  a 
much  more  certain  and  infallible  income  than  could  be 
obtained  from  any  other  source.  In  .such  a  case  it  was 
impossible  to  arrive  at  A  fair  conclusion  that  there  was 
a  dependency  on  the  labor  of  the  registrant  for  sup- 
port. 

Very  early  in  the  execution  of  the  laAv  the  specific 
question  was  put  to  this  office:  "Where  the  parents 
of  the  registrant,  or  of  his  wife,  or  both,  are  ready, 
able,  an*!  \\  illing  to  undertake  the  support  of  the  wife 
duriiii;-  I  he  alisciire  of  the  registrant,  can  the  Avife  be 
considered  a-  mainly  dependent  on  the  labor  of  the 
registrant  for  sujiport  ?''  It  is  an  extremely  dangerous 
thing  to  attempt  (o  guide  the  discretion  of  so  large  a 
collection  of  tribunals  as  the  Selective-Service  System 
by  abstract  rulings  on  hypothetical  questions.  At  the 
time  this  question  Avas  propounded  reports  from  the 
various  governors  were  rather  alarming,  since  it  Avas 


REPORT   OF   THE   PROVOST  MARSHAL   GENERAL. 


23 


stated  that  over  70  per  cent  of  registrants  were  claim- 
ing exemption  on  the  ground  of  dependency.  A  con- 
siderable class  of  cases  had  been  brought  to  the  atten- 
tion of  this  oflice,  in  which  men  who  had  ncvor  really 
supported  their  vdves,  but  who  were,  in  fact,  depend- 
ent on  their  own  parents  or  the  parents  of  their  wives, 
were  claiming  exemption  on  the  gi'ound  that  their 
wives  were  "  mainly  dependent  on  their  daily  labor 
for  support."  Eequests  for  rulings  on  these  two 
classes  of  cases  became  so  insistent  that  it  was  ap- 
parent that  without  some  expression  of  a  general  rule, 
decisions  by  the  boards  in  the  different  parts  of  the 
country  would  present  an  uniformity  that  would  seri- 
ously affect  the  even  execution  of  the  law. 

On  August  8,  therefore,  a  ruling  was  made  that  in 
that  class  of  cases  where  the  registrant,  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  was  not.dependent  upon  himself,  and  the  parents 
of  the  registrant  or  of  his  wife  were  ready,  able,  and 
willing  to  undertake  the  support  of  the  wife  during 
the  absence  of  the  husband,  the  boards  would  be  justi- 
fied in  finding  tl«it  such  a  registrant  had  not  a  good 
claim  for  exemption  on  the  ground  of  the  dependency 
of  his  wife. 

This  ruling  did  not  work  well.  The  few  boards  that 
had  been  prone  to  hold  married  men  for  servica  in  the 
absence  of  the  most  unequivocal  circumstances  of 
dependency  took  the  ruling  as  authority  to  look  into 
the  material  wealth  of  the  parents  of  the  husband  or 
of  the  wife.  Regardless  of  readiness  and  willingness, 
regardless  of  whether  or  not  the  wife  had  in  the  past 
been  actually  dependent  on  the  labor  of  the  husband 
for  support,  these  boards  held  some  married  men  for 
service  wherever  it  appeared  to  them  that,  rather  than 
let  the  wife  suffer,  the  parents  would  undertake  her 
sup})ort  during  the  absence  of  the  husband. 

As  soon  as  this  condition  developed,  attention  of  the 
boards  was  called  to  the  error  on  August  27,  and  the 
district  boards  were  cautioned  to  scan  cases  before 
them  on  appeal  to  correct  such  eri'ors.  On  Septem- 
ber 27  local  boards  were  instructed  to  reopen  and  re- 
consider cases  in  which  such  erroneous  action  had  been 
taken,  even  though  the  registrant  might  have  been  in- 
ducted into  military  service  in  the  meantime.  A 
period  of  47  days  was  allowed  for  the  correction  of 
these  errors  in  the  cases  of  men  inducted  into  military 
service,  and  within  that  period  most  of  such  cases 
were,  and  all  of  them  .should  have  been,  corrected. 

Notwithstanding  the  conditions  with  which  it  had 
been  guarded,  this  authority  was  pressed  upon  many 
boards  to  obtain  a  rehearing  in  cases  in  which  no  error 
had.  been  committed  and  in  which  there  was  no  merit. 
The  reopening  of  unuieritorious  cases  reached  a  mag- 
nitude that  began  to  embarrass  the  orderly  raising  and 
training  of  the  National  Army.  On  November  13, 
therefore,  the  authority  to  reopen  cases  of  registrants 
who  had  already  been  inducted  into  the  military  serv- 
ice and  sent  to  a  mobilization  camp  was  withdrawn. 


Ample  time  had  elapsed  to  correct  all  cases  decided 
before  the  errors  of  the  boards  had  been  discovered 
and  rectified,  and  there  was  no  reason  to  reopen  cases 
decided  after  that  time.  It  was  still  provided,  how- 
ever, that,  in  cases  alleged  to  be  of  special  merit  or 
hardship,  the  commanding  officer  of  the  mobilization 
camp  to  which  the  registrant  had  been  sent  for  service 
should  consider  such  circumstances,  and,  if  he  found 
the  case  to  be  of  merit,  that  he  should  discharge  the 
induct  from  the  Army  under  the  plenary  authority  of 
the  Secretary  of  War  to  grant  such  discharges  to  any 
enlisted  man.  As  a  matter  of  law,  after  the  boards 
had  passed  upon  the  merits  of  a  case  and  inducted  the 
registrant  into  military  service  the  boards  were  with- 
out further  authority  m  the  case,  and  the  reopening  by 
the  boards  of  cases  of  men  already  so  inducted  and 
their  findings  thereon  had  been  advisory  merely,  since 
such  action  had  no  effect,  ex  proprio  vigore,  to  effect  a 
discharge  from  military  service.  The  actual  discharge 
had  been  consummated  in  every  case  by  the  command- 
ing officer. 

The  new  procedure  has  been  found  just  and  effective. 

KESTILTS  OF  THE  SELECTION. 

The  detailed  statistics  of  the  selection  are  reserved 
for  Part  II  of  this  report,  but  the  narrative  report  re- 
quires some  recapitulation  of  them.  ^  --- 

Of  the  9,586,508  registrants  enrolled  on  .June  f>;J} 
3,082,9'19  have  been  called  and  examined  by  the  boards^ 
and  of  this  latter  figure  1,057,363  were  certified  for 
military  service.  The  first  call  was  for  687,000  men 
only,  but,  answering  an  insistent  demand  of  regis- 
trants to  have  their  cases  resolved  and  as  a  measure  of 
precaution  against  an  immediate  future  draft,  many 
boards  continued  to  examine  men  thus  in  excess  of 
their  quotas. 

Under  the  regulations  men  called  to  report  to  their 
local  boards  for  examination  who  failed  to  appear  and 
make  claims  for  exemption  were  regarded  as  having 
waived  the  right  to  make  such  claims  and  were,  after 
due  notice,  inducted  into  military  service  and  there- 
after treated  as  delinquent  from  such  service.  After 
registration  many  young  registrants  who  were  eager 
for  immediate  service  abroad  left  the  country  to  enlist 
in  Canadian,  British,  or  French  armies  or  to  take  serv- 
ice with  the  Eed  Cross  and  other  Ambulance  units 
abroad,  and  in  their  haste  and  enthusiasm  some  of 
them,  although  warned  of  their  obligations  under  the 
law  and  required  to  make  a  statement  that  they  would 
answer  when  called,  failed  to  make  arrangements  to 
have  their  whereabouts  made  known  to  their  local 
boards,  with  a  result  that  they  were  inducted  into  the 
military  service  as  delinquents.  Many  men  enlisted  in 
the  Army  and  the  Navy  without  notifying  their  local 
boards.  Many  men  in  the  floating  population  of  the 
United  States  registered  leaving  an  insufficient  address, 
and  many  foreigners  registered  luimes  unfamiliar  to

EEPOET   OF   THE  PROVOST  MAKSHAL  GENEKAL. 


English  spelling,  with  the  result  that  mailed  notices 
did  not  reach  them.  Notice  was  posted  and  published 
in  each  case  of  call,  but  for  one  reason  or  another 
252,294,  or  8.2  per  cent  of  all  men  called,  failed  to  ap- 
pear. This  figure  is  included  among  those  certified 
for  military  service  in  excess  of  the  national  quota, 
leaving  a  total  excess  of  118,069  on  November  12, 1917. 
A  physical  examination  preceded  the  exemption  ex- 
amination 'in  respect  of  each  man  called,  and  if  the 
registrant  was  found  to  be  disqualified  physically  he 
was  discharged  forthwith,  and  there  was  no  neces- 
sity to  proceed  furtlier.  Of  the  total  number  called 
(3,082,949)  730,756,  or  23.7  per  cent,  were  physically 
rejected.  Of  the  total  number  actually  examined  by 
the  boards  (2,510,706)  the  730,756  represents  29.11  per 
cent  of  the  men  physically  examined  by  local  boar-ds 
and  later  sent  to  camp.  Of  this  number  22,989,  or 
5.8  per  cent,  were  rejected  on  physical  reexamination 
at  camp.  Of  the  total  number  called  (3,082,949) 
1,560,570,  or  50.62  per  cent,  made  claims  of  exemption. 
Of  the  claims  made,  1,215,049,  or  39  per  cent  of  persons 
called,  or  77.86  per  cent  of  claims  made,  were  granted. 
Of  1,419,678  claims  made  to  local  boards,  1,161,206 
were  granted:  that  is,  81.79  per  cent  of  claims  made 
before  local  boards  were  granted.  One  hundred  and 
forty  thousand  eight  hnndred  and  ninety-two  claims 
were  made  to  district  boards,  and  53,843,  or  38.21- per 
(•■cnt  of  claims  made,  were  granted.  District  boards 
discharged  only  1.74  per  cent  of  the  total  number 
called.  " 

Of  the  total  claims  granted  (1,161,206),  859,150  or 
73.99  per  cent  of  all  claims  granted  were  on  the  ground 
of  dependency,  228,452  or  19.67  per  cent  were  on  the 
ground  of  alienage,  67,716  or  5.83  per  cent  were  on  the 
ground  of  vocation,  3,887  or  0.34  per  cent  on  the 
ground  of  religious  belief,  and  2,001  or  0.17  per  cent 
on  the  ground  of  moral  unfitness. 

These  figures,  with  the  deductions  that  are  to  bs 
made  from  them,  are  analytically  considered  in  Part 
II  of  this  report.  At  this  place  it  is  sufficient  to  re- 
i'liark  that  the  statistical  projections  made  from  the 
registration  for  the  purpose  of  formulating  the  pre- 
liminary set  of  regulations  have  been  almost  magi- 
cally justified  by  the  results  of  the  first  selection.  At 
the  time  of  the  formulation  of  those  regulations,  the 
very  grave  industrial  and  agricultural  problem  before 
the  Nation  was  recognized  in  this  office ;  but,  as  shall  be 
developed  later  in  this  report,  the  theory  accepted  here 
was  that  the  responsibility  for  the  determination  of  tlie 
question  whether  this  Nation  was  to  contribute  mili- 
tarily, industrially,  or  both,  to  the  allied  aims  in  this 
cosmic  struggle,  had  been  decided  before  this  office 
Yi'as  created;  that  the  decision  was  for  military  coop- 
eration; that  this  decision  imposed  upon  this  office 
the  necessity  of  producing  the  first  draft  of  men  sjai- 
chronously  with  the  military  preparation  to  receive 
f!>cm;   and,  therefore,  that  the  paramount   military 


necessity  was  to  be  adjusted  to  the  agricultural  and 
industrial  necessity  with  the  least  possible  disarrange- 
ment of  the  latter,  but  with  the  absolute  military 
necessity  n.  .lays  in  the  foreground. 

With  this  thought  in  mind  the  first  regulations  were 
promulgated.  No  apology  is  needed  for  them.  It  is 
believed  that  they  produced  a  result  with  such  accu- 
racy in  respect  of  the  plan  that  no  substantial  criti- 
cism can  be  made  of  them.  Formally,  it  is  frankly 
admitted  that  they  were  full  of  laiiKs.  In  the  haste 
in  which  they  were  pi-epai-ed,  it  was  necessary  to  ad- 
here to  the  most  primitive  procedure.  A  different 
form  was  prescribed  for  each  permitted  exemption 
claim,  with  an  interesting  result  that  will  be  found  re- 
flected with  absolute  faithfulness  in  the  early  develop- 
ment of  not  only  the  common,  but  the  Roman  Law.  It 
must  be  of  the  keenest  interest  to  the  lawyer  and  to  the 
legal  historian  to  note  this  inevitable  reversion  to- 
primitive  type,  to  the  formalism  of  the  early  common 
law  of  writs  in  the  early  stage  of  any  legal  or  quasi- 
legal  development  and  as  a  reflection  of  the  evolution 
of  every  legal  system  under  the  sun. 

Admittedly,  also,  and  for  the  reasons  hereinbefore 
btated,  these  early  regulations  were  not  addressed  to 
the  complete  solution  of  what  must  now  be  recognized 
as  the  high  functions  of  this  office — the  striking  of  the 
ultimate  balance  between  the  industrial  (including  the 
agricultural)  needs  of  the  Nation  and  its  military 
reeds.  With  a  full  realization  of  the  ultimate  problem, 
the  first  regulations  were  nevertheless  intended  to 
serve  solely  as  an  expedient  which  should  produce  the 
military  result  required,  with  far  greater  expedition 
(as  it  afterwards  proved)  than  was  demanded,  but  in 
a  way  such  as  would  never  permit  this  office  to  fall 
behind  the  supply  departments  in  the  military  prepa- 
ration of  the  Nation,  and  at  the  same  time  would  pro- 
tect other  national  activities  against  indiscriminate 
drafts  on  labor  supply.  That  they  have  been  effective 
in  their  result  and  to  this  end  can  never  be  questioned. 

EVASION  OF  THE  DKAFT. 

During  the  interim  between  the  enactment  of  tliei 
selective-service  law  and  registratioir  daj'  the  De- 
partment of  Justice  and  Inral  peace  officers  through- 
out the  Nation,  CHpcciuUy  llic  ]i()lirc  departments  of 
the  larger  cities,  feeling  sdini'wliat  apprehensive  of 
the  spirit  in  which  this  novel  and  imtried  method  of 
raising  our  armies  would  be  accepted,  exercised  the 
greatest  care  in  providing  for  ample  cooperation  with 
the  s('li'rti\o-(lr;rl'l  ollicials  for  the  speedy  and  effective 
registration  of  fligililes.  which  was,  in  fact,  the  first 
.step  in  the  mobilization  of  the  National  Army.  Dur- 
ing the  fortnight  preceding  registration  day  an  oc- 
casional thront  of  resistance  was  reported,  but  on  June 
5  nearly  Id.OOii.OOO  males  of  the  designated  ages  were 
successfully  registered.  So  willing  were  the  regis- 
I  trants  to  demonstrate  their  approval  of  the  new  order 


EEPORT   OF   THE   PROVOST   MARSHAL   GENERAL.

and  to  support  the  Government  in  the  emergency  that 
throughout  the  62  Federal  district  jurisdictions,  prac- 
tically the  entire  United  States,  up  to  December  1  we^ 
iind  a  total  of  only  5,870  arrests  made  or  reported  by 
■tlie  Department  of  Justice  for  faihire  to  register. 

The  authorities  early  assumed  an  attitude  of  leni- 
ency to^Yard  all  those  who,  after  arrest,  exhibited  a 
willingness  to  register,  and  extended  tlie  locus  peni- 
tcntia  as  far  as  possible,  believing  that  the  purpose 
of  the  law  was  to  secure  a  full  registration  rather  tlian 
full  jails.     Consequentlj',  2,603  of  those  apprehended 
were  released   after  having  registered  and  prosecu- 
tions begun  against  2,095,  of  which  1,645  cases  are 
still  pending.     It  is  noteworthy  that  of  those  released 
or   prosecuted    3,236   have   actually   been    registered, 
and  in  the  final  analysis  but  0.0002G  of  males  between 
21    and  30,    inclusive,    have    failed    or    neglected    to 
register. 
1      There  were  some  cases  of  persons  aiding  those  sub- 
I  jcct  to  registration  to  evade  or  to  attempt  to  evade  the 
I  law,  and  on  charges  of  this  nature  180  arrests  were 
i  made,  of  which  3i  were  convicted  and  heavy  sentences 
j  usually  imposed;  21  cases  resulted  in  acquittals.    There 
I  are  st-ill  pending  98  cases  of  this  kind. 

After  the  registration  came  the  call  for  the  physical 
examination  of  registrants  for  military  service  in  the 
c.der  of  their  liability.  To  the  Department  of  Justice 
,i.i(i  l<)i;il  police  officials  fell  the  duty  of  locating  the 
\  Lcrealouts  and  apprehending  those  civilians  who  had 
I  t  responded  to  this  summons.  The  Department  of 
,  i  stice,"  up  to  December  1,  had  reported  to  it  14,212 
regis! rants  who  had  failed  to  appear  for  physical  ex- 
amination at  the  various  local  boards  throughout  the 
United  States.  Of  this  number  149  were  arrested,  and 
813  were  transferred  to  the  military  authorities  to  be 
dealt  with  under  the  rules  established  for  cases  of  this 
kind.  The  final  data  on  this  subject  (see  the  further 
comments  in  Part  II)  will  undoubtedly  show  that  the 
number  of  those  who  willfully  refrained  from  report- 
ing is  comparatively  insignificant. 

Of  the  156  district  and  4.rir)T  local  boards  organized 
and  esf-ablished  throughout  the  country  for  the  execu- 
tion of  the  selective-service  law,  the  Department  of 
Justice  notes  few  bona  fide  complaints  and  reports  a 
negligible  number  of  prosecutions  against  members 
thereof. 

Of  individuals  indulging  in  antidraft  propaganda 
throughout  the  country,  343  prosecutions  are  reported, 
with  heavy,  penalties  imposed  in  practically  all  cases 
wliere  convictions  resulted,  there  being  105  of  these 
cases  now  pending. 

In  a  few  Federal  districts  efforts  have  been  made 
to  bring  before  the  courts  for  review  on  writs  of  man- 
damus or  habeas  corpus,  the  action  of  the  local  and 
district  boards  in  holding  registrants  to  service. 
These  cases  have  usually  involved  claims  for  exemp- 
tion from  the  operation  of  the  Selective  Service  Law 


by  reason  of  alienage,  and  attempts  were  made  to 
have  certain  adjudications  of  selective-draft  oiRcials 
repudiated  by  court  order.  The  trend  of  decisions  in 
these  cases,  however,  has  been  to  support  the  findings 
of  the  local  and  district  boards  in  instances  where 
full  and  fair  hearings  have  been  afforded  to  the  reg- 
istrants, it  being  generally  held  that  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  board  is  the  proper  one  for  the  determination 
of  those  questions,  and  that  the  court  will  not  inter- 
fere where  a  registrant  has  been  given  an  opportunity 
to  be  heard.  All  courts  have  generally  been  of  the 
opinion  that  ample  time  for  the  presentation  of 
claims -for  discharge  or  exemption  was  provided  by 
the  Kegulations,  and  that  a  claimant  must  establish 
his  case  within  the  time  prescribed.

MOBILIZATION. 

Tlie  Provost  Marshal  General,  as  the  head  of  the 
selective-service  system,  was  charged  by  the  Presi- 
dent's regulations  with  the  general  duty  of  entraining 
men  selected  by  their  boards  and  of  delivering  them  at 
the  mobilization  camps  or  other  points  designated  by 
tlie  Secretary  of  War. 

Under  the  President's  regulations  a  registrant  is  in- 
ducted into  the  military  service  from  the  day  and  \ 
hour  specified  in  the  notice  for  him  to  report  to  his  [ 
local  board  for  transportation  to  a  mobilization  campi 
or  military  post.  Though  the  registrant  is  in  the  mill-' 
tary  service  from  and  after  the  arrival  of  the  time| 
so  specified,  it  is  a  function  of  the  selective-service  sys-; 
tem  to  arrange  for  his  subsistence  and  transportation 
to  the  destination  to  which  he  is  ordered.  By  a  simple,' 
and  as  practice  has  proved,  a  very  workable  plan,  the 
local  boards  marshal  and  check  the  several  contingents 
of  their  respective  quotas,  issue  to  them  meal  and 
transportation  requests,  select  a  competent  leader  of 
the  party,  and  superintend  the  entrainment. 

It  should  be  clearly  understood  that  the  clothing, 
housing,  training,  transfer,  and  discharge  of  selected 
men  after  induction  into  the  military  service  are  mat- 
ters outside  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Selective-Service 
System  and  of  the  Provost  Marshal  General.  Simi- 
larly, the  number  of  selected  men  called  for,  whether 
in  all,  or  at  any  particular  time,  and  the  dates  and 
places  of  delivery,  are  questions  decided  by  the  War 
Department  proper.  When  the  decision  is  made,  The 
Adjutant  General  of  the  Army  transmits  the  order  of 
the  Secretary  of  War  to  the  Provost  Marshal  General, 
whose  duty  it  is  to  see  that  the  order  is  carried  out. 

Prior  to  the  mobilization  the  War  Department  had 
impressed  upon  the  Provost  Marshal  General  the 
urgent  necessity  of  his  being  in  readiness  to  furnish, 
beginning  September  1,  large  numbers  of  drafted 
men.  It  was  intimated  that  the  first  of  such  men 
would  be  called  for  on  September  1,  and  that  there- 


26 


BEPORT   OF   THE  PEOVOST  MABSHAL  GENERAL. 


after  large  increments  of  such  men  would  be  called  for 
at  intervals  of  about  two  weeks  each ;  so  that  by  about 
October  15  the  entire  687,000  men  called  for  in  the 
draft  of  July  12,  1917,  would  be  in  training. 

Accordingly,  the  Provost  Marshal  General  urged 
the  States  to  expedite  the  selection  of  men.  The  States 
iuid  the  various  local  and  district  boards  performed 
their  duties  promptly  and  efficiently.  At  the  stated 
time  they  reported  that  they  were  ready  to  furnish 
men  in  such  numbers  jis  it  had  been  intimated  that 
they  would  be  called  upon  to  send  to  camp.  Arrange- 
ments were  made  with  the  American  Eailway  Asso- 
ciation to  cooperate  with  the  Government  by  prepar- 
ing schedules  for  entrainment  and  by  furnishing  a 
representative  at  each  State  headquarters  to  assist  and 
advise  the  local  authorities.  The  railway  association 
requested  that,  to  enable  them  to  arrange  schedules, 
they  be  given  two  weeks'  warning  of  any  contemplated 
movement  of  troops,  together  with  information  as  to 
the  number  of  men  to  be  moved. 

This  report  would  be  incomplete  and  inconsiderate 
if  this  opportunity  passed  without  some  mention  of 
the  work  of  the  American  Eailway  Association  in 
mobilizing  National  Army  quotas.  No  more  difficult 
ti-ansportation  problem  could  be  conceived.  Small 
groups  were  to  be  assembled  at  every  county  seat  in 
the  United  States,  entrained  and  transported  in  con- 
verging contingents  at  16  separate  destinations,  some- 
times a  thousand  miles  from  their  points  of  origin. 
The  smoothness  and  dispatch  with  which  this  prob- 
lem was  solved  was  nothing  short  of  marvelous. 
Whatever  of  uncertainty  and  lack  of  coordination 
may  yet  remain  in  the  adjustment  of  our  peace-time 
facilities  to  the  uses  of  war,  it  must  be  said  that  the 
railroads'  handling  of  selected  men  could  not  haA'e 
been  bettered  had  it  resulted  from  a  military  ex- 
perience of  a  decade. 

1.  First  call— On  August  8,  1917,  Tlie  Adjutant 
General  of  the  Army  directed  that  the  National  Army 
be  called  to  the  colors  as  follows: 

30  per  cent  to  be  delivereil  commencing  September  1. 
30  per  cent  to  be  delivered  commencing  September  15. 
30  per  cent  to  be  delivered  commencing  September  30. 
Tlie  remainder  as  soon  thereafter  as  practicable. 

This  information  was  communicated  to  the  States 
on  August  13,  1917. 

On  the  same  date,  August  13,  The  Adjutant  Gen- 
eral of  the  Armj',  referring  to  his  letter  of  August  8, 
1917,  wrote  the  Provost  Marshal  General  to  the  effect 
that— 

The  Secretary  of  War,  having  in  mind  the  fact  that  Satur- 
day, Sunday,  and  Labor  Day  are  three  of  the  first  five  days 
in  September,  directs  that  the  calls  be  made  as  follows : 

First  call  September  5  (instead  of  September  1). 

Second  call  September  19  (instead  of  September  15). 

Third  call  October  3  (instead  of  September  30). 

The  remainder  as  soon  thereafter  as  practicable. 


Owing  to  the  fact  that  during  the  early  days  of 
September  the  railroads  would  be  transporting  large 
.numbers  of  troops  of  the  National  Guard  and  of  the 
Regular  Army,  The  Adjutant  General,  "  in  order  to 
coordinate  movements  of  National  Guard  and  Na- 
tional Army  and  movements  to  ports  of  embarka- 
tion," modified,  on  August  25,  his  previous  instruc- 
tions and  directed  that  selected  men  be  moved  as 
follows : 

5  per  cent  beginning  September  5  (at  the  rate  of  1  per 
cent  each  day). 

40  per  cent  beginning  September  19. 

40  per  cent  beginning  October  3. 

15  per  cent  beginning  October  17. 
On  the  same  date  The  Adjutant  General  directed,  by 
letter,  that  the  first  5  per  cent  should  include  white 
men  only.    These  instructions  were  communicated  to 
governors  on  August  25,  1917. 

However,  it  appeared  that  at  Camp  Meade  the 
water-supply  system  would  not  be  completed  by  Sep- 
tember 5,  and  at  Camp  Upton  the  construction  of  the 
cantonment  would  not,  on  that  date,  be  sufficiently 
advanced.  The  calling  of  the  first  5  per  cent  of  men  to 
Camp  Meade  was,  therefore,  delayed  until  September 
19  and  at  Camp  Upton  until  September  10. 

2.  Second  call. — The  second  call  for  40  per  cent 
commencing  on  September  19  was  moved  in  accord- 
ance with  instructions  of  August  25,  except  at  Camps 
Upton,  Meade,  and  Dix.  The  movement  of  40  per 
cent  of  selected  men  to  Camp  Upton  was  made  in  two 
increments  of  20  per  cent  each  on  September  19  and 
September  28.  This  was  to  avoid  the  congestion  of 
traffic,  which  woukl  have  ensued  had  such  a  largo 
number  of  men  as  40  per  cent  of  the  quota  been  moved 
from  the  small  area  contributory  to  Camp  Upton. 
The  District  of  Columbia  sent  45  per  cent  of  its  quota 
to  Camp  Meade  on  September  26.  At  Camp  Dix  the 
only  variation  from  schedule  was  that  the  New  York 
quota  (40  per  cent)  began  to  move  on  September  26 
instead  of  on  September  19. 

This  call  was  ordered  to  be  composed  exclusively  of 
white  men. 

3.  Third  call— On  September  22  The  Adjutant 
General  of  the  Army  transmitted  to  the  Provost  Mar- 
shal General  a  memorandum  dated  September  21, 
1917,  signed  by  the  Chief  of  Staff,  directing  that  se- 
lected white  men  be  mobilized,  as  foUo-ws: 

40  per  cent  of  quotas  to  Camps  Devens,  Funston,  and 
Lewis. 

30  per  cent  of  quotas  to  Camp  Sherman. 

25  per  cent  of  quotas  to  Camp  Upton  and,  from  Okla- 
homa, to  Camp  Travis. 

20  per  cent  of  quotas  to  Camps  Taylor,  Grant,  Travis 
(from  Texas),  and  from  Pennsylvania  and  West  Virginia 
to  Camp  Lee. 

5  per  cent  of  quotas  to  Camp  Meade. 

"As  many  white  men  as  are  yet  certified  for  military 
service"  were  ordered  mobilized  at  Camps  Gordon,  .lack- 
son,  and  Pike,  and  from  Virginia  at  Camp  Lee.  This 
white  call  totaled  about  117,530  men.

Colored  selected  men  "were  ordered  mobilized  at  the 
same  time,  as  follows : 

At  Camp  I'iki',  12  pop  ceut  of  Louisiana's  quota  and  16 
j  per  cent  of  Mississiiipi's  quota. 

i  At  Camp  (Jnr.loii,   IT  ijcr  cent  of  Georgia's  qnoUi. 

At  Camp  .Jackson,  I'l;  per  ceut  of  South  Carolina's  quota. 
This  colored  call  totaled  about  9.270  men. 
Total  of  entire  third  call  about  126,800  men. 
4.  Fourth  call— On  October  13  The  Adjutant  Gen- 
eral of  the  Army  informed  the  Provost  Marshal  Gen- 
eral that  the  Secretary  of  War  directed  colored  men  to 
I  be  mobilized  on  October  27,  as  follows : 

Cainp.s    Upton,    Meado,    Lee.    Sherman,    Custer,    Grant, 
'         Fun.ston,  and  Lewis,  all  of  ccrritifd  colored  quotas;  in  ad- 
dition 7  per  cent  of  'rrhiicsscr's  quota  (all  colored)   were 
ordered  mobilized  at  I'miqi  Mcnde,  and  all  of  Oklahoma's 
colored  quota  were  ordered  moljilized  at  Camp  Sherman. 

Camp  Dodge,  '25  per  cent  of  Alabama's  quota   (all  col- 
ored) and  1  per  cent  of  its  own  quota  (all  colored). 
Camp  Travis,  12  per  cent  of  Texas's  quota  (all  colored). 
I  Camp  Jackson,  10  per  cent  of  South  Carolina's  quota 

(all  colored). 

Camp   Pike,    10   per   cent    of   Arkansas    and    Louisiana 
quotas   (all  colored). 

I      This  colored  movement  comprehended  about  29,300 
men. 

At  the  same  time  the  Secretary  of  War  ordered  the 
following  movements  of  white  men.  to  commence  "  as 
soon  after  October  27  as  will  not  interfere  with  the 
colored  draft": 

Camp  Meade :   "  Whites  yet  certified." 

Camp  Lewis :  "All  remaining  whites  yet  certified.'' 

The  movement  of  these  white  men  commenced  No- 
vember 2,  1917.  The  total  of  white  movement  was 
r.Lout  18,000:  the  total  of  white  and  colored  was  about 
47,300  men. 

In  a  letter  dated  November  1.5,  The  Adjutant 
General  informed  the  Provost  Marshal  General  that 
the  Secretary  of  War  authorized  the  calling  to  the 
colors  of  1  per  cent  of  the  quota  of  each  divisional 
area.  This  movement  was  authorized  with  a  view  to 
relieving  cases  of  hardship  where  men,  having  been 
notified  of  selection,  had  given  up  their  employment 
expecting  to  be  sent  immediately  to  camp. 

.").  FIffh  call. — On  November  5  the  Secretary  of 
War  directed  that  there  be  called  to  the  colors  and  sent 
to  Camp  Custer  30  per  cent  of  the  quota  of  that  can- 
tonment, all  to  be  white.  This  movement  compre- 
hended about  10,800  men  and  took  place  during  the 
five-day  period  beginning  November  19.  On  Novem- 
ber 6  the  Secretary  directed  a  movement  of  15  per  cent 
of  its  quota  to  Camp  Dix.  This  movement  also  com- 
menced during  the  five-day  period  beginning  Novem- 
ber 19.  About  G,450  men  were  called  to  the  colors, 
of  whom  about  1,450  were  colored.  The  total  of  the 
fifth  call  was  about  17,250  men. 


G.  /Sixth  cull. — ^The  Secretary  of  War  directed  on 
November  21  that  20  per  cent  of  quota  of  Camp  Up- 
ton (about  8,440  men)  be  .sent  to  that  camp.  This 
movement  took  place  during  the  five-day  period  com- 
mencing December  5. 

7.  Seventh  call. — On  December  7,  The  Adjutant 
(leneral  of  the  A.rmy  directed  tliat  tlio  remainder  of 
the  quota  of  that  portion  of  Pennsylvania  contribu- 
tory to  Camp  Sherman  be  called  to  the  colors  and 
transported  to  that  camp.  The  movement  took  place 
during  the  five-dav  period  commencing  December  14 
and  comprised  about  1,000  men. 

8.  Eighth  call. — On  December  8  the  Secretary  of 
War  directed  the  immediate  call  into  military  service 
of  9,000  white  men  to  be  sent  direct  to  the  coast  de- 
fenses Oi-  Portland,  Portsmouth.  Boston,  Narragansett 
Bay,  Long  Island  Sound,  eastern  New  York,  southern 
New  York,  Sandy  Hook,  the  Delaware,  Baltimore,  the 
Potomac,  Savannah,  Pensacola,  Mobile,  New  Orleans, 
Galveston,  San  Diego,  Los  Angeles,  San  Francisco, 

•the  Columbia,  and  Piigct  SdiiihI.  Tlieso  men  were 
ordered  to  be  sent  (nit  diirinu  tlu-  live-day  period  com- 
mencing December  l!»  and  were  di-awn  from  the  fol- 
lowing States:  Connecticut,  Delaware,  Illinois,  Iowa, 
Kentucky,  Minnesota,  Massachusetts,  Maine,  New 
Hampshire,  New  Jersey,  New  York,  North  Dakotti, 
Ohio,  Oklahoma,  Rhode  Island,  Texas,  and  West  Vir- 
ginia. 

Summuvy. — The  total  number  of  men  called  for  in 
the  draft  of  July  12,  1917,  was  687,000.  Of  these 
there  have  been  called  to  the  colors  up  to  the  date  of 
preparing  this  report  (Dec.  20),  for  duty  at  mobiliza- 
tion camps  and  coast-defense  commands,  about  527,100, 
or  76.72  per  cent  of  the  entire  draft. 

Included  among  these  527,100  men  are  about  2,300 
men  who  were  specially  inducted  from  their  status  as 
drafted  men  at  the  request  of  the  different  corps  or 
branches  of  the  Arm}'  and  sent  to  places  other  than 
mobilization  camps.  A  flexible  system  has  now  been 
adopted  whicli  will  permit  the  voluntary  or  involun- 
tary induction  of  both  skilled  and  unskilled  men, 
eitlier  in  accordance  with  their  regular  order  of  lia- 
bility to  service  or  regardless  of  such  order  of  lia- 
bility. Men  so  inducted  will  be  sent  where  they  are 
especially  needed  and  not  necessarily  to  mobilization 
camps. 

The  Provost  Marshal  General  is  ready  and  able  to 
produce  all  of  the  remaining  men  called  for  under  the 
initial  draft.  Many  States  have  expressed  not  only  a 
readiness  but  a  desire  to  send  their  selected  men  to 
camp,  in  some  instances  reporting  that  the  failure  to 
call  for  men  already  notified  of  selection  is  causing 
considerable  hardship  and  dissatisfaction.

(I)  FISCAL  ARRANGEMENTS. 

1.  At  the  time  the  present  fiscal  policy  for  the  selec- 
tive-service sj'stem  was  under  consideration  all  depart- 
ments of  the  Federal  Government  were  overwhelmed 
by  offers  of  voluntary  and  uncompensated  service. 
Influenced  by  this  splendid  showing,  calls  were  made 
upon  the  governors  of  48  States  for  their  advice  on 
the  question  that  was  up  for  consideration,  namely, 
whether  uncompensated  service  should  be  solicited 
and  received  in  the  execution  of  the  selective-service 
law.  The  response  was  almost  unanimously  affirma- 
tive. We  adopted  the  policy  in  the  Eegalations  Gov- 
erning Disbursements,  issued  June  15,  1917,  in  which 
the  President  stated: 

Tlie  desire  in  all  commuuities  to  render  patriotic  service  to 
tile  Government  has  given  rise  to  numerous  assurances  tliat 
civilian  services  required  in  connection  witli  the  registration, 
selection,  and  draft  authorized  by  the  selective-service  act  will, 
in  many  cases,  be  rendered  gratuitously.  In  order,  however, 
that  no  person  selected  for  such  service  may  find  himself  com- 
pelled to  decline  to  serve  because  the  financial  sacrifice  involved 
is  too  great,  compensation  wiis  authorized  in  cases  in  which  the 
services  referred  to  are  not  rendered  gratuitously. 

An  estimate  of  funds  laid  before  Congress  was  com- 
puted with  a  view  to  a  large  proportion  of  such  gra- 
tuitous service. 

Members  of  boards  were  from  the  very  beginning 
of  the  administration  given  to  understand  that  the 
necessity  for  economy  and  uncompensated  services  was 
a  vital  element  in  the  execution  of  this  law;  that,  as 
the  duty  of  all  selection  boards  was  to  go  into  Ameri- 
can homes  and  take  out  for  the  service  of  the  Nation 
our  strongest  and  best  young  men  to  send  them  to  the 
battle  lines  to  incur  the  risks  of  a  sacrifice  which  is  not 
and  can  not  be  measured  in  terms  of  money  compensa- 
tion, so  the  duty  of  selection  boards  ought  to  be  given 
tltc  asi)ect  of  a  service  of  the  same  sort;  and  that  as  far 
as  possible  this  service  should  be  rendered  without 
contpensation.  Recognizing,  however,  that  many 
patriotic  citizens  would  find  the  burden  of  uncom- 
jDensated  service  unsupportable,  and  that  this  element, 
ought  not  to  be  excluded  from  participation  in  the 
administration  of  the  law,  rates  of  compensation  to 
moot  the  financial  sacrifices  in  such  cases  were  pre- 
scribed. It  was  the  underlying  idea  that  the  law 
■would  impose  a  sacrifice  upon  each  community  to  the 
necessity  of  the  Nation,  and  it  was  especially  desired 
that  at  no  time  should  the  execution  of  the  law  have 
the  as]3ect  of  a  taking  from  each  community  *of  its 
fiuofa  by  paid  agents  of  the  Federal  Government. 

2.  The  response  was  most  inspiring.  Thousands  of 
members  appointed  to  the  boards  declared  their  in- 


tention to  render  the  service  without  compensation  for 
their  loss  of  time.  Regardless  of  the  injury  to  their 
personal  affairs  or  to  their  business,  they  came  to  the 
assembling  places  of  the  boards,  stayed  from  morning 
till  late  at  night,  and  continued  this  devoted  service 
throughout  the  hot  months  of  the  summer,  day  after 
day,  without  remuneration.  Captains  of  industry  and 
labor  leaders,  professional  men  and  business  men, 
teachers  and  doctors,  university  pre.-iilents  and  public 
officials  of  counties  and  cities — all  aliko  joined  in  the 
huge  task  of  making  the  selective-ser\icu  administra- 
tion an  efficient  success  without  any  regard  for  finan- 
cial sacrifices  or  business  losses. 

This  was  a  part  of  their  contribution  to  the  war, 
and  it  was  made  eagerly  and  gladly.  They  were,  by 
a  large  majority,  the  older  men,  the  responsible  men 
of  affairs  in  the  community,  who  were  neither  eligible 
nor  liable  for  military  service;  but  they  regarded 
themselves  as  equally  drafted  with  the  younger  men 
into  the  service  of  the  Nation,  and  they  made  their 
contributions  in  the  shape  of  time,  sldll,  and  labor, 
and  of  the  sacrifices  to  their  business  and  personal 
affairs.  Had  they  been  paid  in  money,  it  woidd  have 
been  an  ordinary  commercial  transaction  of  hiring  or 
appointing.  In  fact,  it  was  the  discharge  by  them  of 
an  obligation  to  the  entire  NUtion — a  service,  never- 
theless, for  which  the  Nation  can  never  repay  them  in 
any  amount  measured  by  money  figures. 

3.  Here  and  there,  however,  not  only  w^ere  services 
charged  for,  but  reports  were  received  of  boards  that 
have  met  from  day  to  day  with  an  apparent  sole  pur- 
pose of  basing  a  claim  for  compensation.  As  an  in- 
stance, one  board  whose  total  quota  to  be  produced 
was  six  men,  submitted  a  claim  for  compensation 
amounting  to  several  htindred  dollars.  This,  of 
course,  was  an  exceptional  case,  which  the  great  ma- 
jority of  our  board  members  would  condemn;  but  it 
is  such  boards  as  this  that  would  have  produced  an  in- 
flated unit  cost. 

It  was  such  boards,  also,  that  rendered  necessary  the 
strict  and  formal  system  of  accounting  which  the 
Provost  Marshal  General  instituted  in  the  regulations 
for  disbursements  above  quoted.  This  system  of  ac- 
counting was  calculated  to  put  a  check  upon  the  ex- 
travagance and  irresponsibility  which  occasionally 
was  met  with.  Had  such  a  check  not  been  rigorously 
imposed,  this  extravagance  was  likely  to  spread  to  an 
injurious  extent.  Nevertheless,  the  requirements  of 
the  accounting  system  which  insisted  that  authority 
should  be  obtained  beforehand  for  important  expenses, 
and  that  vouchers  ])roperly  made  out  in  detail  should 
be  presented  before  payment  could  be  made,  proved 
to  be  irksome  and  inconvenient  to  many  boards  whose 
competence  and  business  judgment  could  have  been 
fully  trusted  to  regulate  theii-  expenses  in  the  effective

manner  of  experienced  business  men.  Furthennore, 
the  inevitable  delays  caused  occasionally  by  the  con- 
gestion in  the  offices  of  the  State  adjutants  general  led, 
in  some  instances,  to  further  inconvenience.  The  enor- 
mous nature  of  the  task,  the  creation  of  the  system 
and  the  organization  suddenly  and  out  of  material 
new  to  the  task,  the  complexity  of  the  correspondence 
passing  up  from  nearly  five  thousand  boards  through 
fifty  adjutants  general  will  sufficiently  explain  the 
occasional  obstacles  and  delays  which  were  felt  in  their 
effects  to  the  inconvenience  of  the  boards. 

But  the  boards,  for  the  most  part,  met  even  this 
difficult  situation  with  an  astonishing  degree  of  patri- 
otic vigor,  characteristic  of  American  power  of 
achievement.  Hundreds  of  boards  advanced  out  of 
the  pockets  of  the  members  the  sums  necessary  to  pay 
clerks,  to  hire  quarters,  and  to  purchase  supplies,  and 
patiently  awaited  the  settlement  of  the  accounts  by 
the  Government.  To  all  those  boards  who  so  nobly 
and  efficiently  responded  in  this  direct  and  prompt 
manner  to  the  exigencies  of  the  situation,  instead  of 
weakly  permitting  themselves  to  be  blocked  by  the 
temporary  obstacles,  the  Nation  owes  a  debt  of  recog- 
nition and  gratitude  which  it  can  never  repay;  but  it 
should  be  publicly  and  emphatically  aclmowledged  in 
these  pages. 

4.  Toward  the  end  of  November  estimates  of  the 
money  cost  of  the  administration  within  the  various 
States  were  called  for.  The  preliminary  estimates  of 
cost  from  the  various  States  disclosed  remarkable  dis- 
crepancies, ranging  between  $3  and  $17  per  capita  of 
quota  due.  The  States  estimating  a  high  per  capita 
cost  were  then  asked  to  scan  closely  all  claims  for  com- 
pensation and  reimbursement,  for  the  jiurpose  of 
eliminating  unraeritorious  claims  and  of  bringing  the 
cost  of  administration  throughout  the  United  States 
to  a  more  uniform  figure,  and  to  make  a  vigorous  and 
renewed  appeal  to  the  splendid  patriotism  and  un- 
selfish devotion  with  which  the  administration  of  this 
law  was  begun. 

On  November  15,  in  order  to  obtam  the  most  com- 
plete and  accurate  information,  adjutants  general  di- 
rected their  disbursing  officer  to  prepare  immediately 
a  printed  form  calling  upon  each  member  of  local  and 
district  boards,  or  other  persons  likely  to  submit  claims 
for  their  services,  for  an  exact  and  final  statement  of 
all  their  claims  for  service  in  the  execution  of  this  law 
to  include  November  24.  Boards  whose  claims  were 
exorbitant  or  exceeded  a  reasonable  cost,  as  disclosed 
by  a  comparison  of  the  expense  accounts  of  the  ma- 
jority of  boards  or  of  the  most  efficient  boards,  were 
required  to  explain  their  figures,  and  were  cautioned 
that  not  the  least  effective  index  of  their  cooperation 
in  helping  the  Nation  in  this  emergency  is  this  figure 
of  cost.  It  would  certainly  not  seem  to  be  too  great  a 
demand  upon  the  members  of  boards  to  ask  them  to 


exercise  economy  and  frugality  in  their  control  of  Gov- 
ernment exi^enditures  during  the  present  emergency. 

About  December  1  each  disbursing  officer  submitted 
by  telegram  to  this  office  an  itemized  statement  of  the 
expense  incurred  up  to  and  including  November  24, 
showing  separately  the  amoxmt  of  money  actually  ex- 
pended and  the  amount  of  just  indebtedness  incurred 
and  outstanding  against  the  Federal  appropriation, 
and,  specificallj'',  compensation  of  members  of  local 
boards,  compensation  of  members  of  district  boards, 
compensation  of  clerks,  allowances  for  travel,  rental 
of  offices,  purchase  of  supplies,  etc. 

5.  This  office  has  by  some  been  accused  of  parsi- 
mony in  its  fiscal  administration.  But  the  matter  has 
never  been  viewed  here  as  one  of  mere  dollars  and 
cents.  Under  the  selective-service  law,  members  of 
boards  are  as  effectively  drafted  as  are  the  men  whom 
they  send  to  the  battle  field.  It  is  altogether  well 
that  this  should  be  so.  It  is  intrmsic  to  the  psycho- 
logical atmosphere  that  should  surround  the  draft. 
The  solemn  function  of  these  men  should  never  ap- 
pear to  be  exercised  in  the  hope  of  any  other  reward 
than  that  of  the  satisfaction  to  be  derived  from  a  grave 
duty  well  discharged. 

The  aspect  of  pecuniary  and  physical  sacrifice  was 
deliberately  impressed  to  this  sole  end.  During  the 
period  of  the  classification  which  will  require  the  im- 
divided  attention  of  board  members,  compensation  for 
their  services  is  provided.  After  the  classification 
their  duties  will  be  no  more  onerous  than  those  per- 
formed by  members  of  town  councils  and  many  other 
local  officials  who  are  not  compensated.  It  is  in- 
tended, therefore,  that  as  soon  as  the  classification  is 
complete,  compensation  of  members  of  local  and  dis- 
trict boards  shall  cease,  and  the  only  continuing  ex- 
pense of  the  selective-service  system  shall  be  continued 
authority  to  hire  the  necessary  clerical  force,  not  to 
exceed  one  competent  clerk  for  each  board. 

(II)  COST  OF  DRAFT. 

1.  Per  capita  cost.  National  and  State. — From  the 
reports  sent  in  by  the  governors  of  the  several  States 
between  December  1  and  December  3,  it  ajDpears  that 
the  total  ^'expense  (including  money  paid  out  and 
liabilities  incurred)  was  $5,211,965.38.  Appendix 
Table  C  shows  the  total  figures  from  each  State,  to- 
gether with  the  per  capita  figures.  Appendix  Table 
D  shows  the  expenditures  in  detail  from  each  State, 
classified  under  the  several  heads. 

(1)  It  thus  appears  that  the  per  capita  cost  of  the 
selective-service  system,  nationally,  to  the  end  of  the 
first  draft  was  as  follows: 

Cost  per   registraut ?0.  54 

Cost  per  man  caUed 1.  69 

Cost  per  man  accepted  for  service 4.  93 

Cost  per  man  of  quota  due 7.  59 


REPOKT   OF   THE  PliOVOST  MAESHAL   GENEEAL. 


Of  tlicse  several  per  capita  costs,  the  third,  i.  e., 
Iirr  iv.ini  (ifi-cj'inj  for  ^<)-r/rr.  is  oi.ivioiisly  the  most 
significaiil.  Ix'iiiij,-  tho  iicuv-i  In  ilii>  ical  measure  of 
tiie  money  expense  of  the  system  for  the  first  draft. 
The  fourtli  figure,  i.  e.,  per  capita  cost  per  man  of 
qiioto,  due,  is,  of  course,  too  narrow  a  basis  for  cost 
estimate,  because  tlie  entire  effect  produced  by  the 
expenditure  of  the  money  is  to  be  measured  not  merely 
by  the  number  of  meii  required  to  be  raised  but  by  the 
number  of  men  effectively  obtained  for  service;  and 
this  number  (see  Appendix  Table  4)  lies  someAvhere 
between  the  total  number  certified,  1,057,363  (not  all 
of  whom  appeared  on  call),  and  the  number  to  be 
raised  as  required  by  the  President's  call,  or  GS7,000. 
The  reasons  for  the  certifying  of  an  excess  number  of 
men  have  been  fully  explained  in  Chapter  X,  Table 
4,  of  this  report.  Had  the  President  named  1,000,000 
men  as  the  number  to  be  raised,  soraethmg  near  that 
number  would  have  been  ready  for  the  camps  as'  the 
result  of  the  identical  expenditure.  In  other  words, 
tlie  true  estimate  of  cost  being  the  number  of  men 
actually  produced  as  ready  for  service,  it  would  have 
cost  very  little  more  under  the  selective-service  system 
((>  produce  a  million  men  if  a  million  men  had  been 
called  for. 

To  the  above  sum,  consisting  of  tlie  expenses  of 
nearly  5,000  boards  and  50  adjutants'  general  offices  in 
the  States,  must,  of  course,  be  added  the  overhead  ex- 


pense (Appendix  Table  E)  of  the  Provost  Marshal . 
Geneial's  (iliiiT  in  AA^ashington.  This  overhead  ex- 
pense. ho\v(.'\er.  :  hoiild  iu  part  be  spread  over  tlie  en-

November  (except  suili  as  weio  incurred  as  a  part  of 
administering  the  nev\'  selective-service  regulations  go- 
ing into  elt'ect  December  15  in  preparation  for  further 
drafts),  the  total  of  such  ovcrhoad  expense  is 
$1.32,829.30.  This  amount,  hovo-.^.r.  .i„:nl,l  be  offset 
by  one-half  the  amount  of  pernuDu m  equipment  now 
on  hand  with  the  various  boards,  because  such  equip- 
ment will  serve  for  further  drafts  also.  Estimating 
this  one-half  at  $50,000  '-''■  "-  --'  -vprlioad  expense 
would  be  $82,-396.36.  '  A  ■  :,'.<'.-  ualional

total  of  $5,294,361.74,  cr  a  per  capita  cost  per  man 
certified  for  service  of  $5. 

(2)  In  the  several  States  the  per  capita  cost  ranged 
widely.  Per  man  accepted  for  service  it  ranged  be- 
tween $1.57  and  $L9.  The  lowest  cost  was  in  Okla- 
homa and  in  North  Dakota;  the  highest,  in  Ehode 
Island  and  in  Elaine.  Appendix  Table  C  shows  the 
variances  in  detail.  The  causes  for  this  variance  will 
require  farther  study. 

From  the  point  of  view  of  the  boards  in  the  several 
States,  however,  it  is  important  to  note  the  differences 
between  the  i^er  capita  costs  per  registrant  and  per  man

called,  as  well  as  the  per  capita  cost  per  man  certified 
for  service.  A  large  part  of  the  expenses  were  pro- 
portionate to  the  number  of  registrants  in  a  given  area ; 
that  is,  a  board  having  5,000  or  6,000  registrants  neces- 
sarily incurred  larger  expenses  than  a  board  having 
500  or  600  registrants,  no  matter  how  many  men  were 
called  or  were  certified.  Similarly,  the  expense  of  call- 
ing luen  for  physical  examinations  and  for  hearing  on 
claims  was  a  large  item  regardless  of  the  total  number 
of  men  ultimately  certified;  for  example,  in  a  board 
having  30  j^er  cent  aliens,  the  expense  of  calling  them 
and  passing  upon  their  claims  was  a  necessary  expense, 
although  none  of  the  aliens  might  be  certified;  thus, 
two  boards  which  certified  for  service  300  men  apiece 
might  have  called  and  examined  1,000  and  500  men, 
respectively,  in  order  to  produce  the  same  number  of 
certified  men. 

For  the  foregomg  reasons  it  as  only  just  to  the  sev- 
eral States  that  the  per  capita  cost  per  registrant  and 
the  per  capita  cost  per  man  called  should  be  com- 
pared, as  well  as  the  per  capita  cost  per  man  certified. 
Appendix  Table  C,  showing  these  several  per  capita 
costs  for  the  respective  States,  makes  it  plain  that  some 
States  having  a  relatively  high  per  capita  cost  per  man 
certified  for  service  had  a  much  more  moderate  cost 
per  man  called  or  per  registrant.  These  differences 
should  be  taken  into  consideration  in  fairness  to 
the  earnest  and  laborious  work  of  the  thousands 
of  boards  who  have  i-endered  their  services  in  this 
great  task. 

2.  Per  capita  cost  of  the  Selective-Service systemand 
of  Recruiting,  compared.— It  should  not  be  omitted 
from  consideration  that  the  selective-service  system, 
besides  its  advantages  as  a  rational  and  necessary 
measure  for  raising  the  National  Army,  has  also  the 
advantage  of  being  a  more  economical  system  than 
that  of  recruiting  by  voluntary  enlistment. 

The  comparative  statement  of  unit  cost  between  the 
recruiting  system  and  the  selective-draft  system  is  a 
difficult  one  to  formulate  accurately.  To  make  the 
comparison  fair  to  the  recruiting  system*  we  should 
eliminate  the  expense  of  travel  paid  between  recruiting 
station  and  recruiting  depot,  the  cost  of  subsistence 
prior  to  acceptance  at  the  latter,  the  expenses  at  gen- 
eral recruiting  depots,  and  the  cost  of  clothing.  The 
cost  of  obtaining  men  by  the  selective-service  system 
will  include  only  expenses  up  to  the  time  of  entrain- 
ment  for  the  camps.  By  a  statement  received  from 
The  Adjutant  General  and  placed  in  Appendix  Table 
G,  it  appears  that  the  per  capita  cost  of  recruiting  in 
the  year  1914  was  $21.48  and  in  1915  $19.14.  It  further 
appears,  from  a  statement  of  The  Adjutant  General, 
printed  as  Appendix  Table  F,  that  the  per  capita  cost 
of  recruiting  for  the  first  nine  months  of  the  fiscal 
year  1917 — July,  1916,  to  April,  1917,  inclusive — was 
$28.95. 


The  marked  economy  of  the  selective-service  sys- 
tem is  apparent. 

3.  Per  capita  cost  of  the  Selective-Service  system  in 
1917  and  the  Civil  War  draft,  compared. — Under  the 
act  of  March  3,  1863,  Gen.  James  B.  Fry  was  ap- 
pointed the  Provost  Marshal  General.  In  his  report 
dated  March  17,  1SG6,  he  states  (on  p.  2,  second  para- 
graph) that  the  cost  of  recruiting  1,356,593  men,  prior 
to  the  passage  of  the  act  referred  to,  was  $34.01.  What 
items  of  expenditures  were  considered  in  arriving  at 
tliis  per  capita  cost  are  not  shown ;  but  because  he  uses 
these  figures  in  comparison  with  the  per  capita  cost  of 
raising  the  Army  mider  his  administration,  it  is  fair  to 
presume  that  the  same  items  were  considered. 

Under  the  act  of  March  3,  1863,  referred  to,  each 
district  of  every  loyal  State  was  assigned  a  certain 
(iuota  of  men  which  it  was  required  to  produce  for  the 
Army.  If  the  entire  quota  volunteered,  no  draft  was 
held.  If  part  volunteered,  the  balance  were  drafted. 
For  that  reason  the  expenses  of  the  volunteer  and 
draft  systems  under  Gen.  Fry's  administration  were 
so  intermingled  that  no  separate  per  capita  cost  can  be 
arrived  at.  His  report  shows  (p.  749)  a  total  of  1,120,621 
men  produced  at  a  cost  of  $11,027,715.21  or  $9.84  per 
capita.  This  report  nowhere  gives  the  items  going  to 
make  up  the  total  amount.  Of  this  number,  only 
168,649  were  drafted  men  or  substitutes.  Considering 
this  low  number  of  dr-afted  men,  and  the  fact  that  the 
total  expenditure  of  over  eleven  million  included  these 
drafted  men  and  all  of  the  volunteers,  and  the  further 
fact  that  there  must  have  been  but  relatively  small  ex- 
penditure in  securing  the  volunteers,  the  per  capita 
cost  for  producing  the  drafted  men  would  have  been 
seen  to  be  very  much  higher,  if  it  had  been  possible  to 
segregate  the  expenses  on  account  of  producing  them. 

But  any  comparison  with  the  Civil  War  cost  is,  of 
course,  valueless  unless  we  keep  in  mind  the  much 
lower  money  values  of  those  days;  that  is  to  say,  the 
relative  wage-payuig  power  of  money  at  the  period  of 
the  Civil  War  two  generations  ago  was  several  times 
higher  than  it  is  now.  The  sum  of  $10  in  those  da3's 
woidd  purchase  services  which  to-day  would  cost  $20 
or  moi-e.  As  an  illustration  of  this,  it  may  be  men- 
tioned that  the  general  wage-level  rose  from  50  degrees 
to  100  degrees  between  1865  and  1910. 

We  may  fairly  assume,  therefore,  that  the  per  capita 
cost  of  the  Civil  War  was  relatively  several  times 
higher  than  the  mere  figures  show  it  to  be. 

In  short,  for  the  purposes  of  the  present  day  and 
our  present  problems  of  cost,  the  true  standard  of 
economy  for  the  selective-service  system  is  a  compari- 
son, as  above  given,  between  the  expense  of  the  recruit- 
ing system  and  the  expense  of  the  selective-service 
system. 

In  so  far  as  we  are  forced  to  consider  the  purely 
financial  aspect,  the  Selective-Service  system  is  the  most

economical  measure  that  could  iDOSsibly  have  been  de- 
vised for  raising  the  National  Army  of  brave  men  to 
defend  the  cause  of  liberty  and  democracy  against  the 
nefarious  world-designs  of  a  ruthless  hostile  po^Yer. 

IX. 

THE  FUTUKE. 

When  the  breathless  haste  of  the  first  draft  was 
over  there  was  time  to  consider  the  probleifi  in  its 
larger  aspects  and  to  make  provision  against  the  fu- 
ture. 

The  industrial  and  agricultural  needs  of  the  nation 
were  strongly  developed  as  a  result  of  the  first  di-aft. 
In  the  light  of  literal  thousands  of  special  urgings 
and  claims  for  consideration  arising  from  the  emer- 
gent need  of  every  activity  in  the  Nation,  and  pressed 
with  patriotic  singleness  of  purpose,  but  not  always 
with  patriotic  broadness  of  view,  the  needs  of  every 
department  of  national  activity  had  been  emphatically 
presented  to  this  office.  In  these  circumstances  the 
whole  problem  may  be  regarded  as  having  been  pre- 
sented in  full  perspective. 

It  may  be  shortly  stated  thus: 

The  needs  of  the  war  have  resulted  in  an  unprece- 
dented demand  for  labor  in  the  following  vital  fields : 
(1)  Shipbuilding  and  manning,  (2)  munitions  manu- 
facture, (3)  agriculture.  These  three  principal  activi- 
ties are  listed  in  this  order  after  considerable  thought 
and  a  wide  experience  and  discussion.  The  predica- 
tion for  this  result  is  roughly  as  follows:  The  na- 
tional industrial  and  agricultural  need  may,  in  the 
light  of  the  experience  of  years,  be  relied  u]Don  to 
move  toward  adjustment  in  the  mutual  reaction  of 
supply  and  demand,  accelerated  by  certain  indirect 
,  metliods  of  which  the  draft  itself  is  one.  Experience 
has  not  shown  that  the  national  shipbuilding  pi-o- 
gram  may  do  so.  To  descend  to  platitude,  it  is  an 
ill  wind  that  blows  nobody  good.  The  Ci-^il  War 
removed  our  merchant  flag  from  the  seven  seas, 
with  untold  disparagement  of  our  national  advan- 
tage. If  the  World  War  can  restore  it  we  shall  reap 
benefit  for  generations  to  come.  The  guiding  prin- 
ciple of  this  office  must  be  "military  efl'ectiveness 
first,"  but  when  military  effectiveness  is  enmeshed  with 
marine  effectiveness,  as  it  must  be  in  a  foreign  war 
on  a  battle  field  "-.Oim)  miles  from  our  coast  line,  there 
is  no  room  fui  ln-italion.  If  our  soldiers  are  to  be 
effective,  if  the  munitions  we  produce  are  to  be  effec- 
tive, if  our  agricultural  productiveness  is  to  be  effec- 
tive, we  must  produce  the  bottoms  to  carrj^  all  aboard. 
When  we  iiinl  coupled  with  this  a  promise  for  the  fu- 
ture wliiih  lurcts  a  need  unfilled  in  ."lO  years  of  peace- 
time effort  there  ran  be  little  room  for  hesitation. 
Since  we  are  in  war  military  effectiveness  comes  first, 
but  there  never  was  a  more  fortunate  corollary  for  the 
Nation  than  that  marine  effectiveness  comes  next. 
IIowe\er,  soldiers  are  helpless  M'ithout  weapons,  and 


what  has  been  said  can  never  be  taken  to  mean  that  the 
manufacture  of  munitions  is  to  be  hampered  by  the 
building  of  ships  or  the  disproportionate  raising  of 
armies.  All  of  these  things  are  to  be  carried  syn- 
chronously forward,  and  the  problem  is  simply  one  of 
relative  adjustment  from  month  to  month  and  year  to 
year,  with  no  thought  of  carrying  one  to  a  dispropor- 
tionate prejudice  of  the  other.  The  same  is  true  of 
agricultural  productiveness.  The  problem  is  to  carry 
each  evenly  forward,  avoiding  the  destruction  of  any. 
It  must  not  be  forgotten,  however,  that  the  problem 
does  not  stop  here.  The  entire  effectiveness  of  the 
Nation  has  not  been  envisioned  when  we  have  men- 
tioned the  manufacture  of  the  instruments  of  war,  the 
instrumentalities  for  the  over-seas  transportation  of 
them,  and  the  men  who  are  to  manipulate  them.  The 
Nation  must  be  an  economic  integer  and  a  very  effec- 
tive one,  and  all  is  by  no  means  said  when  these  es- 
sentials are  menlicnd.  It  is  a  solemn  fact  that  no 
strict  legal  constni.  tidni-t  could  read  the  Selective- 
Service  Law  as  a  direct  protection  of  all  national  ac- 
tivities. Commerce,  for  instance,  is  not  only  not  men- 
tioned, but,  according  to  the  strictest  construction  of 
its  terms,  is  not  even  suggested.  "  Industry,"  espe- 
cially when  the  word  is  qualified  by  such  significant 
addition  as  "  includina-  atricnlture,"  does  not  import 
commerce  or  any  nt'iicr  than  strictly  pi'oductive  en- 
deavors. Yet  the  Sded  he-Service  Law  must  receive 
a  common-sense  administration  unless  it  is  to  fail. 
The  economic  balance  of  the  Nation  must  be  preserved. 

All  these  thoughts  had  been  presented  and  con- 
sidered here  when  in  Septeml>er  of  this  year  it  was 
determined  that  tlie  time  had  come  when  the  regula- 
tions should  be  revised  and  the  entire  original  plan  of 
the  draft  be  reconsidered.  The  resolution  was  rather 
one  of  expediency  than  afterlliought.  The  necessity 
had  always  been  recognized,  but  it  had  not  been  an- 
ticipated that  the  delay  in  preparation  liy  the  supply 
depai'tments  would  permit  of  the  readjustment  so  soon. 
The  instant  that  the  respite  was  granted  orders  were 
given  for  the  rewriting  of  the  regulations  on  the  lines 
just  suggested.  ^ 

L^pon  the  most  superficial  survey  it  was  apparent 
that  we  are  already  facing  a  unique  disarrangement 
of  the  labor  supply  appurtenant  to  every  normal  in- 
dustry, and  especially  that  appurtenant  to  agriculture. 
Urgent  drafts  had  been  made  upon  our  industrial 
and  agricultural  industries  by  the  war  in  Europe  be- 
fore our  own  participation  therein.  Vital  necessities 
abroad  had  invaded  our  markets  with  unusua.l  de- 
mands, resulting  in  unusual  labor  requirements.  The 
available  credit  of  the  wdiKI  liml  lieen  rendered  con-

ing  agriculture.  The  industrial,  economic,  and  labor 
balance  was  in  this  manner  upset.  And  it  becomes  in- 
stantly apparent  that,  with  any  considerable  reduction 
in  man  power  iqv  the  uses  of  the  Army,  some,  if  not 
all,  industries  will  find  this  already  overtaxed  labor 
suppl}'  seriously  curtailed. 

Such  a  condition  is  the  inevitable  consequence  of 
modern  war.  Under  a  perfect  economic  system  the 
productive  enterprise  of  a  nation  affords  a  field  for 
labor  for  all  able-bodied  men.  War  being  an  emergent 
condition,  even  under  such  a  perfect  system,  the  in- 
stant necessity  is  profound  adjustment  to  meet  the 
paramount  demand  of  the  Army.  But  the  adjustment 
is  required  not  alone  by  the  necessity  for  armed  men. 
The  increased  manufacture  of  the  instruments  of  war 
requires  as  great  or  even  greater  drafts  of  men  from 
normal  peace-time  industries.  This  second  require- 
ment had  already  been  made  upon  our  normal  indus- 
tries by  our  efforts  to  supply  the  needs  of  the  allied 
powers.  Upon  a  declaration  of  war,  these  already  ab- 
normal demands  were  increased  by  our  own  immediate 
warlike  necessities.  It  was  this  condition  that  was  to 
be  addressed  by  the  first  regulations  which  were  poten- 
tial of  so  profound  an  effect  upon  our  national  supply 
of  man  power. 

As  has  already  been  pointed  out,  it  was  the  object 
of  the  old  regulations  to  enter  tlie  disturbed  condi- 
tion with  a  plan  for  raising  087,000  men  in  the  short 
time  available  and  with  the  least  possible  interfer- 
ence with  national  activities.  The  maximum  number 
of  cases  that  we  could  hope  to  consider  in  the  time 
available  was  3,000,000.  The  maximum  number  of 
men  available  was  10,000,000.  Scientifically,  the  regu- 
lations should  have  been  so  framed  as  to  produce  pre- 
cisely the  687,000  most  available  men  in  the  whole 
10,000,000.  Practically  there  was  no  time  to  examine 
10,000,000  cases.  Therefore,  the  regulations  were  so 
drawn  as  to  select  the  687.000  most  available  men  in 
3,000,000.  Admittedly,  the  regulations  for  future 
drafts  had  to  be  revised  to  produce  three  times  as 
effective  a  discrimination. 

But  there  was  much  more  than  this  circumstance, 
striking  as  it  is,  to  be  considered.  The  draft  itself  is 
an  instrument  of  compelling  force  in  controlling  and 
distributing  labor  supply  throughout  the  United 
States.  It  is  conceivable  that  our  national  necessities 
may  require  a  direct  draft  of  labor.  Repugnant  as 
this  may  seem  to  some  of  our  ingrained  peace-time 
ideas,  there  can  be  little  doubt  of  the  authority  of  the 
Government  to  adopt  such  a  measure.  But  there  are 
measures  short  of  this  suggested  in  the  draft  regula- 
tions as  they  now  stand,  which  give  a  powerful  lever 
of  control  of  labor  supply  that  should  be  tried  before 
we  pass  to  the  extreme  of  a  direct  industrial  draft. 
Since  this  is  so,  the  responsibilities  of  this  office  do  not 
end  with  the  prompt  supply  of  levies  for  the  Army. 
3209G— 18 3 


The  entire  industrial  field  must  be  explored,  provision 
of  facile  and  effective  methods  must  be  perfected,  and 
the  selective-service  system  must  stand  as  a  pervasive 
and  supple  control  which  shall  serve  its  purpose,  so  far 
as  its  powers  make  possible,  in  coordinating  the  man 
power  of  the  Nation  and  so  fostering  its  industries  in 
a  nice  and  impartial  balance  which  shall  carry  for- 
ward all  varied  endeavors,  not  singly  or  irregularly, 
but  compacted  in  an  even  and  synchronized  march. 

With  these  ideas  uppermost  it  was  necessary  to 
amend  the  original  regulations.  They  had  not  been 
addressed  to  the  bulk  supply  of  labor  appurtenant  to 
any  industry  or  agriculture,  but  had  contented  them- 
selves with  the  preservation  of  indispensable  men,  and 
they  protected  all  such  industries  only  by  incidental 
effect  of  the  vastly  effective  exemption  of  men  whose 
circumstances  as  to  dependents  relieved  them  from 
liability  to  the  draft. 

It  must  not  bo  supposed,  however,  that  this  protec- 
tion was  insignificant.  Applying  to  any  class  of  in- 
dustry (or  any  other  national  activity),  the  rule  po- 
tently applicable  to  all,  it  becomes  apparent  that  at 
least  80  per  cent  of  the  labor  supply  appurtenant  to 
any  particular  class  is  either  wholly  removed  from  the 
operation  of  the  draft  by  being  under  or  over  the  age 
limit  or  is  deferred  by  the  domestic  circumstance  of 
the  dependency  of  relatives.  It  is  then  relatively  a 
small  field  within  Avhicli  wo  have  to  function,  and  the 
draft  is  not  by  any  means  the  bogey  that  it  is  often 
made  to  appear. 

It  must  be  emphasized  that  the  desired  result  can 
not  be  made  by  the  administration  of  the  draft  alone, 
and,  before  entering  a  discussion  of  the  thing  which 
is  to  be  achieved,  the  thing  that  has  already  been  ac- 
complished by  other  belligerents  must  be  mentioned. 
It  is  impossible  to  say  what  armed  strength  of  the 
central  pow"ers  has  been  put  into  the  field,  but  with 
only  60,000,000  people  in  Germany  and  less  than 
50,000,000  in  Austria-Hungary,  it  is  perfectly  appar- 
ent that  the  military  burden  imposed  upon  those  two 
countries  alone  has  been  many  times  as  heavy  as 
anything  we  have  been  called  upon  to  face,  and  that, 
with  conspicuous  success  they  have  met  it,  as  have 
England  and  France.  To  what  precise  extent  it  is  not 
feasible  now  to  say,  but  one  thing  at  least  is  certain: 
the  nations  with  which  and  against  which  we  are 
arrayed  have  made  such  sacrifices  of  man  power,  such 
adjustments  of  agricultural  and  industrial  relations 
to  meet  these  sacrifices,  that  it  little  becomes  us  to 
emphasize  above  a  whisper,  as  a  substantial  national 
problem,  anything  that  we  have  yet  been  called  upon 
to  face.  Eelativcly,  the  surface  of  our  resource  of 
men  has  not  been  scratched.  Unless  we  are  to  con- 
fess a  national  inefficiency,  shameful  before  tlie  nations 
of  the  world,  we  shall  solve  these  problems  without 
great  controversy.

KEPOET   OP   THE  PROVOST  MARSHAL   GENERAL. 


That  these  nations  have  made  these  economic  ad- 
justments at  a  sacrifice  is  not  to  be  questioned.  That 
our  people  have  not  as  yet  shown  too  great  a  dispo- 
sition for  proportionate,  or  even  comparable,  adjust- 
ments is  unfortunately  true.  We  should  hear  less 
and  do  more  in  this  regard. 

One  thing  must  be  borne  in  mind.  Adjustments  to 
the  war-time  need  of  the  Nation  are  to  be  made.  The 
direct  draft  on  labor  supply  is  the  draft  of  the  Army. 
Every  other  responsible  activity  sees  that  draft  in 
horrific  perspective.  Adjustments  are  demanded, 
and  always,  as  a  first  insistence,  at  the  expense 
of  the  Army.  Actuated  by  none  but  the  most  pa- 
triotic impulses,  representatives  of  different  inter- 
ests— agriculturists,  industrialists,  men  engaged  in 
oceanic  shipping,  educators,  and  religionists — have 
come  forward  with  arguments  for  absolute  exemption 
of  their  class  from  draft — arguments  which,  in  their 
respective  field,  are  almost  unanswerable,  but  which,  in 
the  broad  view  of  the  national  necessity,  would  (if  all 
were  acceded  to)  result  in  a  Falstaffian  army  composed 
only  of  vagrants  and  the  sons  of  the  idle  rich,  inade- 
quate in  numbers  and  contemptible  in  personnel. 
Against  such  blandishments  this  office  must  stand 
forth  without  compromise.  Herein  it  must  be  sup- 
ported by  the  manhood  and  the  mature  and  unbiased 
thought  of  the  Nation,  or  its  plan  of  selection  must 
fail.  And  with  its  failure  the  Nation  must  confess 
inadequacy  in  the  virility  of  the  fighting  nations  of 
the  world. 

THE  NEW  CLASSIFICATION. 

The  new  regulations  are  intended  to  accomplish 
two  principal  things.  The  first  is  to  nuike  a  scientific 
and  most  complete  inventory  of  our  man  power,  with 
a  searching  inquiry  into  the  qualifications  and  the  in- 
dustrial and  domestic  circumstances  of  each  man  reg- 
istered; with  this  at  hand,  the  second  is  to  make  a 
scientific  classification  of  their  relative  availability  for 
military  service  and  for  all  the  war-time  activities  of 
the  Nation. 

With  these  two  objects  accomplished,  the  registered 
field  ceases  to  be  an  heterogeneous  medley  of  unor- 
ganized resources.  It  becomes  rather  as  the  keyboard 
of  a  piano,  upon  which,  by  easy  manipulation,  the 
maximum  result  in  any  desired  harmonization  of  ef- 
fect may  be  accomplished.  It  was  to  this  capital  pur- 
pose that  the  new  system  is  addressed. 

Its  first  step  is  to  require  from  each  registrant  an 
.uniform  and  simply  executed  inventory  of  his  quali- 
fications and  circumstances  by  means  of  a  o.uestion- 
naire,  composed  of  inquiries  carefully  designed  to 
elicit  answers  which  shall  .compel  conclusions  along 
the  desired  lines.  It  provides  for  an  immediate  classi- 
fication of  all  registrants  iiito  five  classes  arranged  in 
the  inverse  order  of  their  availability  for  military 


service.  When  the  classification  is  complete  we  shall 
be  prepared  to  make  the  maximum  use  of  every  direct 
and  indirect  influence  on  labor  supply  growing  out 
of  the  Selective-Service  Law.  « 

Examining  the  system  more  closely,  we  find  that 
it  is  designed  to  list  in  Class  I,  the  names  of  those 
whose  immediate  induction  into  military  service  will 
least  interfere  with  the  industrial,  economic,  and  agri- 
cultural life  of  the  Nation.  It  excludes  from  that 
class  the  key  and  pivotal  men,  whether  they  be  mana- 
gers or  assistant  managers  of  farms  or  mechanical  or 
administrative  experts  in  factories.  The  latter  classes, 
it  defers  into  Classes  III  and  IV,  and  it  excludes  from 
immediate  liability  to  draft  skilled  labor  in  both  in- 
dustry and  agriculture.  In  the  troublesome  field  of 
dependency  claims,  it  endeavors  to  address  with  the 
most  unequivocal  rules  cvei  y  difiiciilty  that  was  raised 
in  the  first  draft,  and,  as  tn  iiuiniid  men,  to  include  in 
the  immediately  available  class  i  iily  those  who  by  no 
stretch  of  the  imagination  should  be  deferred  on  any 
ground  of  dependency. 

While  it  attempts  to  protect  only  those  engaged  in 
industries  essential  to  the  national  interest,  it  covers 
by  the  clearest  terms  all  agriculture  and  all  indus- 
tries except  those  patently  nonessential.  It  is  designed 
to  produce  an  immediately  available  class  which  shall 
pi'otect  all  skilled  labor  appurtenant  to  agriculture 
and  to  all  essential  industrj'. 

The  failure  in  direct  deferment  on  account  of  en- 
gagement in  nonessential  industries  may  seem  at  first 
sight  to  depart  from  the  resolution  that  the  general 
industrial  balance  of  the  Nation  is  not  to  be  destroyed. 
The  first  impression  fails  to  consider  the  effect  of  the 
dependency  deferments  and  the  fact  already  adverted 
to  that  fully  80  per  cent  of  men  in  any  particular 
industry,  essential  or  nonessential,  are  removed  en- 
tirely from  the  operation  of  the  draft  by  being  under 
or  over  draftable  age  or  on  account  of  dependency 
exemptions.  The  protection  to  nonessential  industry, 
while  not  nearly  so  effective  as  that  offered  to  essential 
industrj',  is  sufficient  to  prevent  destruction.  This  is 
as  it  should  be.  The  added  protection  to  essential  in- 
dustry will  be  a  force  to  attract  labor  to  such  industry, 
but  it  will  not  be  such  a  potent  force  as  to  destroy 
nonessential  industry. 

Great  pressure  has  been  exerted,  first,  to  withdraw 
any  exemption  whatever  from  nonessential  industry; 
second,  to  grant  absolute  exemption  to  all  labor 
(skilled  and  unskilled)  engaged  in  essential  industry. 
The  second  is  the  milder  course.  Tlie  first  is  revo- 
lutionary. Either  would  be  so  potent  as  to  coalesce 
labor  supply  about  the  favored  industry. 

Tlie  second  suggestion  has  been  used  specifically  for 
the  benefit  of  shipbuilding.  The  creation  of  a  mer- 
chant marine  is  conceived  by  this  office  to  be  (next  to 
the  unhampered  raising  of  our  Army)  the  most  vitally 
necessary  step  in  the  prosecution  of  the  war.    As  soon 


EEPORI  OF  THE  PROVOSI  MARSHAL  GENERAL.

as  it  was  made  to  appear  that  there  was  not  siifficient 
labor  to  carry  this  jjrojeet  forward,  there  was  inserted 
in  the  new  i-egulations  a  provision  granting  absohite 
immunity  from  draft  to  laborers  engaged  in  the  build- 
ing and  fitting  of  ships  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Navy  or  the  Emergency  Fleet  Corporation.  The  effect 
was  electrical,  and  there  is  every  indication  that  it  will 
prove  to  be  continuously  effective.  There  is  no  longer 
any  labor  shortage  in  that  industry. 

But  the  danger  of  such  a  step  was  instantly  demon- 
strated. Munition  factories  at  once  demanded  the 
same  protection.  The  time  has  not  yet  come  for  this. 
If  it  were  accorded  to  munition  factories,  agricidture 
would  present  a  claim  equally  substantial,  and  the 
result  would  be  such  an  inroad  into  class  I  as  to  abate 
it,  to  drive  us  into  classes  II  and  III  in  all  other  in- 
dustries, and  thus  to  break  down  the  entire  value  and 
effect  of  the  classification  system.  We  can  not  take 
such  a  step  now.  When  the  classification  is  complete 
we  shall  knoAV  to  the  uttermost  ounce  just  what  con- 
cessions the  Army  can  make  to  the  other  paramount 
industries  of  the  Nation.  Until  that  time  no  further 
concessions  may  be  made. 

But  this  must  be  recognized:  Even  after  all  such 
concessions  have  been  made,  the  labor  supply  will  be 
insufficient  for  the  demands  of  even  necessary  in- 
dustries. Man-power  adjustments  must  be  made  on 
every  hand,  and  they  can  no  longer  be  made  at  the 
expense  of  the  Army.  What  are  termed  nonessential 
industries  must  not  be  destroyed;  and  if  this  Nation 
can  not  continue  under  the  relatively  slight  burden 
upon  its  man  power,  then  it  will  stand  established 
as  the  incompetent  among  the  civilized  nations 
of  the  world.  Such  a  result  is  unthinkable.  The 
problem  must  be  faced  and  solved.  This  office  will  go 
as  far  as  is  humanly  possible,  but  with  its  limited 
power  it  can  not  offer  a  complete  solution.  Women 
must  take  the  place  of  men  wherever  that  is  possible. 
AVaste  of  effort  must  be  abolished.  And  finally,  aside 
from  manipulation  of  the  effect  of  the  draft,  more 
subtle  and  equally  powerful  methods  must  be  evolved, 
labor  must  be  regulated,  and  the  disproportionate 
prices  now  prevalent  for  the  inducement  of  labor  to 
abnormal  areas  must  be"  controlled  by  administrative 
regulation  which  shall  more  effectively  control  the 
supply  of  labor  appurtenant  to  every  war-time  in- 
dustry. In  no  other  manner  can  this  very  clearly 
defined  and  really  simple  problem  be  approached. 

The  powerful  potentialities  of  the  draft,  the  re- 
vision of  the  regulations  to  make  full  use  of  them,  and 
the  lines  along  which  it  may  be  necessary  to  proceed, 
have  thus  far  been  outlined.  Before  descending  to 
the  less  fundamental  (but  hardly  less  important)  re- 
visions, there  arc  one  or  two  further  aspects  of  these 
fundamental  principles  which  require  address. 


THE   INCOMING   AGE   21    AND    THE   ATTAINED    AGE   30. 

No  human  mind  can  forecast  the  resultant  numbers 
in  Class  J,  but  (as  the  roughest  guess  based  on  the 
experiences  of  the  first  draft)  it  is  estimated  that  Class 
I  will  comprise  a  list  of  physically  acceptable  men 
in  number  close  to  one  million — enough  for  any  call  in 
present  prospect.  Wliether  this  guess  be  justified  in  prac- 
tice or  not,  it  can  be  announced  now  as  the  policy  and 
belief  of  this  office  that  in  all  probability  it  will  be  pos- 
sible to  fill  oar  military  needs  without  ever  invading  any 
class  more  deferred  than  Class  I;  and  this  is  the  promise, 
the  standard,  and  the  goal,  here  for  the  first  time  an- 
nounced, toward  which  every  administrative  effort  of  this 
office  shall  be  directed. 

It  is  admitted  that  the  fulfillment  of  this  hope  will 
require  further  legislation  (as  shall  be  presently  ex- 
plained), and  the  requirements  of  the  war  may  im- 
pose problems  that  will  demand  much  more  profound 
adjustments;  but  as  a  rough  measure  of  protection  it 
is  not  too  much  to  say  that  the  present  classification 
scheme  offers  possibilities  that  have  never  been  at- 
tained by  any  other  nation  in  the  history  of  war. 

It  is  perfectly  demonstrable  that  the  fostering  of  our 
industrial  and  agricultural  institutions  requires  tho 
deferment — not  of  the  younger  men,  who  have  not  yet 
become  integi'ated  with  the  domestic,  industrial,  or 
agi'icultural  life  of  the  Nation — but  rather  of  men  who 
have  passed  bej'ond  their  majority  and  who  have  as- 
sumed domestic  or  industrial  or  agricultural  relations 
which  demand  their  discharge  from  the  obligations  of 
military  service.  Therefore,  presuming  that  the  mili- 
tary needs  of  the  Nation  should  require  more  men 
than  those  who  within  the  present  draftable  ages, 
and  under  the  present  rules  would  be  in  Class  I,  the 
problem  would  instantly  present  itself  whether  it  were 
better  to  invade  the  deferred  classes  or  to  add  another 
class  of  younger  men. 

Between  the  two  alternatives  there  can  be  little  hesi- 
tation. Against  the  proposition  to  add  tho  class  of 
men  who  have  reached  21  since  last  registration  there 
can  be  urged  but  a  single  objection,  that  among  the 
younger  men  will  be  found  those  who  are  just  com- 
pleting their  education  and,  as  has  already  been  force- 
fully urged,  that  where  the  education  is  technical 
(medical,  chemical,  or  engineering)  the  completion 
of  the  training  of  men  so  skilled  is  necessary  for  war 
purposes.  As  to  such  teclmical  students  the  arguments 
are  overwhelming  and  they  have  prevailed. 

In  other  fields  of  education  different  considerations 
are  controlling.  If  a  nation  is  to  make  any  sacrificial 
adjustment  it  is  here.  The  value  of  an  educated  youth 
is  not  to  be  underestimated,  but  war  is  an  emergent 
condition  which  by  the  very  nature  of  the  problem  can 
not  last  forever.  AVhile  due  provision  must  be  made 
for  the  future,  the  obligation  of  military  service  is  not

lightly  to  be  passed  over.  It  is  not  diiRcult  to  find 
that  the  relations  of  a  man  to  the  war  industries  of  a 
nation  are  sufficient  to  defer  his  call  to  military  service 
and  in  his  place  to  send  another  man  to  a  stern  and 
vicarious  sacrifice;  but  it  is  much  more  difficult  to 
reach  the  conclusion 'that,  either  the  interests  of  the 
nation  or  the  interests  of  the  favored  man,  are  suffi- 
cient to  justify  sending  forth  in  the  place  of  a  college 
student  a  less  fortunate  youth  at  the  imminent  and 
great  peril  of  life — not  because  he  is  better  fitted  to 
defend  his  country  (for  admittedly  such  is  not  the 
case),  but  because  the  national  life  has  vouchsafed  him 
fewer  opportunities.  Yet  that  idea  is  rampant  in  the 
Nation.  It  is  unfair  and  unjustly  partial.  Human 
lives  and  destinies  are  at  stake.  There  is  too  great  a 
disjDosition  to  weaken  on  this  gi-ound;  and  the  sooner 
the  Nation  comes  to  an  exact  realization  of  the  issues 
involved  the  sooner  will  the  powerful  disposition  of 
high  but  single-minded  educators  be  opposed  in  this 
regard. 

The  inclusion  of  the  class  of  those  arriviiag  at 
the  age  of  21  should  add  yearly  at  least  700,000  unde- 
ferred  men  to  the  available  class,  and  with  such  an  ad- 
dition there  is  certainly  no  immediate  necessity  of 
going  beyond  Class  I  in  future  drafts.  This  is 
a  consummation  most  devoutly  to  be  desired.  It  re- 
moves from  consideration  the  most  troublesome  prob- 
lems of  the  draft  and  places  us  in  a  most  enviable  po- 
sition among  belligerent  nations. 

A  paragraph  will  serve  to  dispose  of  the  question 
whether  in  like  manner  those  passing  the  age  of  30 
should  be  removed  from  liability.  In  the  first  place 
such  men  are,  physically  and  as  a  class,  the  most  per- 
fectly fitted  for  military  service.  Practically  those 
who  at  that  age  have  not  yet  integrated  themselves 
with  the  economic  or  domestic  life  of  the  Nation  to 
such  a  substantial  extent  as  to  dictate  their  segrega- 
tion in  a  class  more  deferred  than  Class  I  are  entitled 
to  no  consideration  in  this  regard.  The  classification 
system  automatically  defers  meritorious  cases,  and  the 
rest  ought  not  to  be  removed  from  liability. 

CHANGE   OF   ftTJOTA  BASIS. 

We  come  next  in  our  consideration  of  the  new  plan 
to  one  of  its  most  significant  incidents. 

As  the  law  now  stands,  quotas  are  to  be  appor- 
tioned by  a  blind  rule  of  population.  This  rule  has 
already  been  fruitful  of  almost  insurmountable  diffi- 
culties. In  the  first  place  gross  population  includes 
aliens.  Aliens  are,  by  the  terms  of  the  law,  entitled  to 
exemption  from  draft.  In  districts  with  a  large  alien 
population  this  rule  has  resulted  in  a  considerable  re- 
duction of  the  citizen  population,  and  in  such  regions 
as  the  Big  Bend  district  of  Texas  this  has  resulted  in 
a  condition  little  short  of  calamitous.  But  the  con- 
clusion to  base  the  apportionment  of  quotas  on  citizen 
population  is  not  to  be  accepted  as  a  curing  alternative. 


The  opposing  argument  is  readily  demonstrable.  As 
between  two  States  with,  let  us  say,  1,000,000  popula- 
tion, 100  per  cent  American  and  the  other  50  per  cent 
alien,  a  I'ule  of  citizenship  apportionment  of  quotas 
would  result  in  a  withdrawal  from  the  ail-American 
State  just  twice  as  great  as  the  withdrawal  from  the 
50  per  cent  hyphenate.  Since  the  economic  wealth  of 
a  State  is  bound  up  with  its  man  power,  and  since 
man  power  is  not  to  be  computed  according  to  citi- 
zenshii),  the  gross  inequity  and  the  certainly  ensuing 
protest  against  any  such  rule  are  instantly  apparent. 
Further,  there  is  to  be  urged  against  the  population 
rule  the  circumstance  that  there  is  no  reliable  cri- 
terion of  population,  since  the  last  census  is  seven 
years  old  and  since  the  most  potent  influences  have 
been  at  work  on  the  distribution  of  population  since 
1910.  These  influences  were  most  potent  among  men 
of  the  draf table  age;  and  since  the  Census  Bureau's 
estimate  was  made  on  the  registration  as  a  basis  the 
distribution  of  the  first  draft  was  admittedly  but  in- 
curably inequitable. 

The  new  classification  system  not  only  renders  the 
old  apportionment  of  quotas  still  more  inequitable. 
It  requires  an  absolute  change  to  a  new  rule.  If  this 
Nation  is  to  be  regarded  as  a  compacted  whole  (and  it 
must  be  so  regarded),  and  if  the  early  classes  rep- 
resent the  men  who  could  be  taken  with  the  least  dis- 
turbance of  peace-time  normality  (not  only  nation- 
ally but  emphatically  locally),  then  there  is  only  one 
just  basis  for  quotas  to  be  called  from  any  class,  and 
that  is  the  proportion  of  men  in  that  class  in  the  va- 
rious localities.  This  plan  is  too  just,  too  even,  and 
unassailable  to  require  argument.  If  the  classification 
is  to  be  accepted,  then  the  apportionment  of  quotas 
on  the  basis  of  the  classification  must  be  accepted. 
Any  other  rule  would  result  in  one  board  furnishing 
its  quota  from  Class  I,  while  immediately  across  the 
jurisdictional  dividing  line  another  board  might  easily 
be  invading  Class  IV.  This  is  too  obvious  to  require 
discussion.  The  justice  of  an  apportionment  of  quotas 
in  proportion  to  the  classification  from  which  the 
quota  is  to  be  filled  is  unassailable,  and  the  law  should 
be  amended  along  these  lines. 

If  these  two  amendments  are  promptly  made;  that 
is,  if  all  men  who  have  attained  the  age  of  21  since 
June  5  are  required  to  be  registered  and  thereafter  to 
be  immediately  classified,  and  if  the  law  is  amended 
to  require  the  distribution  of  quotas  in  proportion  to 
the  number  of  men  in  any  class  from  which  the  quota 
is  called,  then  the  problems  of  this  office  are  already 
half  solved — but  not  entirely  solved,  as  shall  appear 
immediately. 

SKILLED  AND  UNSKILLED  LABOR  POWER. 

The  effect  of  the  proposed  amendment  will  be,  then,  to 
require  that  Class  I  be  exhausted — not  merely  locally 
but  nationally — before  any  inroads  are  made  in  Classes

II,  III,  or  IV.  If,  as  is  earnestly  hoped  and  confi- 
dently believed,  all  drafts  in  immediate  prospect  can  be 
confined  to  Class  I,  then  the  entire  supply  of  skilled 
farm  labor  and  of  labor  appurtenant  to  every  industry 
can  be  conserved  intact,  and  our  only  remaining  prob- 
lem is  that  of  unskilled  labor.  This  problem  is  not  so 
simple  as  its  statement  might  suggest.  The  line  of 
demarcation  between  skilled  and  unskilled  labor  is  not 
-always  plainly  marked;  apart  from  this  the  supply  of 
unsldlled  labor  is  the  very  commodity  that  presents  the 
most  serious  problem  in  the  present  aspect  of  the  war. 
Unskilled  labor  is  responsive  to  slight  impulse  and 
controlled  by  many  causes.  The  relatively  dispro- 
portionate prices  rendered  possible  by  the  abnormal 
economic  situation  that  has  prevailed  in  the  United 
States  have  been  sufficient  to  withdraw  miskilled  labor 
from  agricultural  pursuits  and  to  concenter  it  about 
the  great  industrial  regions  of  the  Nation  to  such 
an  extent  as  to  present  a  most  difficult  problem  in 
national  economics.  The  fact  must  be  faced,  in  this 
report  and  elsewhere,  that  the  present  raw  and  un- 
skilled labor  supply  is  insufficient  to  fill  the  Army 
while  also  maintaining  industry  and  agriculture  to 
the  maximum  effectiveness  required  by  military  neces- 
sity. As  has  been  remarked  before  in  this  report,  the 
instant  recourse  of  every  superficial  student  is  to 
make  the  necessary  adjustment  at  the  expense  of  the 
Army.  Smce  the  decision  has  been  made  to  render 
this  Nation  militarily  effective  as  a  measure  of  self- 
preservation,  the  protagonists  of  this  idea  can  fairly 
be  charactei'ized  as  fatally  shortsighted.  The  adjust- 
ment must  be  made  in  some  other  way. 

Such  adjustment  will  involve  the  shifting  of.  labor 
power  from  one  industi'y  to  another  or  from  one  group 
to  another.  There  are  here  many  obvious  possibilities. 
For  example,  in  commerce,  in  nonessential  industries, 
and  even  in  essential  industries,  there  are  thousands 
and  hundreds  of  thousands  of  positions  that  could  be 
filled  by  women  and  are  filled  by  women  in  everj'  other 
belligerent  country.  The  positions  of  clerks,  elevator 
boys,  salesmen,  porters,  and  the  like,  may  be  mentioned 
by  way  of  illustration.  As  the  means  for  effecting  such 
readjustment,  there  are  powerful  indirect  possibilities 
in  the  draft,  but  the  dangers  in  its  indiscriminate  use 
are  not  to  be  overlooked  in  any  careful  survey  of 
the  situation.  Moreover,  other  powerful  influences 
to  this  end  are  available  outside  the  draft,  and  so  far 
removed  from  the  jurisdiction  of  this  office  that  they 
may  not  now  be  considered  here.  The  vital  and  over- 
whelming facts  of  this  problem  ought  to  be  addressed 
at  once  by  some  administrative  authol-ity  vested  with 
sufficient  power  to  act  as  well  as  to  resolve.  It  is 
doubtful  whether  there  is  a  more  important  problem 
before  the  country  just  now. 

One  more  important  phase  of  the  new  regulations 
remains  to  be  discussed.  The  deferment  of  men  on 
account  of  their  engagement  in  industry  and  agri- 

2408 


cultiire  can  be  regarded  solely  as  for  the  national  in- 
terest. The  interests  of  individuals  or  association  of 
individuals  can  benefit  incidentally  but  solely  as  the 
individual's  interest  happens  to  coincide  with  the  in- 
terests of  the  Nation.  Now,  commonly  it  is  to  the 
interest  of  the  Nation  that  men  highly  skilled  in  in- 
dustry remain  at  their  normal  employments,  but  such 
is  not  always  the  case.  Our  armies  have  urgent  need 
for  a  small  proportion  of  men  highly  skilled  in  certain 
industrial  pursuits.  Wherever  such  is  the  case  the  in- 
terests of  the  Nation  are  no  longer  served  by  leaving 
men  in  their  civil  pursuits,  and  since  such  men  will,  by 
the  very  terms  of  the  new  regulations,  be  found  in 
deferred  classes,  the  interests  of  the  Nation  require 
that  in  such  cases  the  deferred  classes  be  invaded  and 
the  necessary  men  withdraAvn.  Ample  provision  for 
the  exercise  of  this  authority  is  found  in  the  new  regu- 
lations. It  will  be  utilized  with  discrmiination  and 
cai-e,  but  when  the  necessity  arises  the  authority  must 
be  exercised  expeditiously  and  acceded  to  without 
protest. 

PKOCEEDINGS  UNDER  THE  NEW  CLASSIFICATION. 

While  what  has  been  discussed  covers  the  essentials 
of  the  revision  of  the  regulations,  many  other  consid- 
erations required  the  revision. 

Some  3,000,000  men  had  been  called  and  their  cases 
had  received  a  tentative  disposition.  Nine  million 
five  hundred  thousand  men  were  registered  on  Juno 
5  and  fully  500,000  since  that  time.  The  fate  of 
some  7,000,000  of  the  best  and  most  virile  men  of 
the  country  remained  suspended.  It  became  forth- 
with necessary  to  assign  to  them  a  place  in  the  na- 
tional defensive  scheme,  and  both  for  the  repose  of 
the  public  mind  and  in  justice  to  them  it  was  necessary 
that  their  cases  be  resolved. 

Improvements  in  method  are  of  very  great  impor- 
tance. The  entire  regulations  have  been  compressed 
between  the  covers  of  a  single  volume.  Instead  of 
the  involved  and  sometimes  obscure  verbiage  of  the 
original  regulations,  the  new  ones  are  expressed  in 
almost  colloquial  and  never  obscure  English,  and  the 
arrangement,  annotation,  and  index  are  such  that  any 
required  provision  can  be  found  readily  and  easily. 
The  method  for  physical  examination  is  improved, 
and  a  comprehensive  appeal  to  the  leaders  of  the  medi- 
cal profession  has  been  made  in  such  a  way  that  it  is 
believed  that  the  preliminary  examination  of  regis- 
trants will  be  of  a  more  exhaustive  and  scientific 
character  than  any  physical  examination  that  can 
be  accorded  at  the  mobilization  camp.  If  this  proves 
to  be  as  effective  as  it  pi-omises,  the  physical  exami- 
nation at  the  mobilization  camp  will  become  a  mere 
labor  of  supererogation.  Each  registrant  is  required 
to  submit  his  answers  to  a  catechism  evolved  from  the 
experiences  of  the  first  draft  and  so  thorough  as  to 
seax'ch  his  entire  industrial  and  economic  relation  and

to  develop  his  answers  in  such  a  way  as  to  compel  the 
conclusion  upon  which  his  classification  must  be  made. 

The  entire  legal  profession  has  been  enlisted,  not 
as  advocates  presenting  the  necessarily  one-sided  view 
of  a  party  in  conti'oversy,  but  as  assistants  of  the 
Selective-Service  System  engaged  to  present  the  merits 
of  each  case  in  its  fair  relation  to  the  national  prob- 
lem. The  procedure  is  simplified  and  systematized  to 
an  extent  which,  according  to  the  testimony  of  some 
50  members  of  local  and  district  boards,  will  reduce 
the  mechanical  labor  70  per  cent. 

Evei'y  administrative  incident  of  the  first  draft, 
every  failure,  difficulty,  and  omission  of  the  old  regu- 
lations discerned  by  our  experience  thus  far  was  con- 
sidered and  attempted  to  be  corrected  in  the  new. 

The  classification  is  at  the  date  of  this  report  in  full 
progress.  It  is  anticipated  that  it  will  be  completed 
by  February  15.  When  it  is  complete,  a  carefully 
prepared  tabulation  and  index  of  it  will  be  made  in- 


Washington.  We  shall  then  know  to  the  minutest 
detail  the  condition  and  the  engagement  of  so  much 
of  the  man  power  of  tliis  Nation  as  is  within  the  draft 
age.  In  a  military  as  well  as  in  an  industrial  sense 
this  index  will  be  an  invaluable  thing.  The  control 
by  the  Government  of  the  field  of  labor  will  have  been 
rendered  flexible,  exact,  and  most  powerf^d.  By  the 
jjreferment  or  deferment  of  any  industry — complete, 
as  in  the  present  case  of  the  shipbuilding  industry,  or 
partial,  as  in  the  present  case  of  all  other  necessary 
industries — the  labor  problem  can  be  controlled,  ad- 
justments forced  where  right  and  proper  that  they 
should  be  forced,  and  in  this  manner  this  Nation,  in 
respect  of  its  control  of  that  aspect  of  the  labor  prob- 
lem affected  by  military  service,  will  be  in  the  most  ad- 
vantageous position  ever  occujjied  by  a  belligerent 
power  in  this  or  any  other  war.  The  selective  idea 
will  have  been  carried  to  its  uttermost  practicable 
refinement. 


PART  II. 

THE  RESULTS  OF  CALLING  AND  SELECTION  BY  THE  BOARDS. 


On  November  7  a  request  was  issued  to  all  Local  and 
District  Boards  to  make  return  to  the  Provost  Marshal 
General  of  the  results,  in  numbers,  of  the  calling  and 
selection  of  men,  and  to  report  their  experience  in  the 
administration  of  the  Selective- Service  Act.  Tlus 
tedious  but  necessary  task  was  achieved  with  a  zealous 
promptness  and  thoroughness  for  which  public  thanks 
are  due.  The  returns  represented  the  state  of  the  Local 
Board  records  on  or  about  November  12,  and  of  the 
District  Board  records  on  or  about  November  18.  The 
number  of  Local  Boards  making  returns  was  as  fol- 
lows :  Complete  returns  of  results  in  figures,  4,341 ;  in- 
complete returns,  80;  no  returns,  117;  reports  of  ex- 
perience, 3,416;  no  reports  of  experience,  1,122.  The 
number  of  District  Boards  making  returns  was  as  fol- 
lows: Complete  returns  of  results  in  figures,  145;  in- 
complete returns;  2;  no  returns,  3;  reports  of  experi- 
ence, 140 ;  no  reports  of  experience,  10.  The  compila- 
tion of  returns  was  completed  on  December  8.^

Note. — The  above  figures  are  of  November  12, 1917  (approxi- 
mately), being  the  totals  as  reported  from  time  to  time  to  the 
Provost  Marshal  General's  Office  by  tlie  Local  Board.  In

'Acknowledgment  is  made  of  the  valuable  services  of 
Mr.  C.  P.  Balch,  statistician  of  the  Chicago  &  North  Western 
Railway  Co.,  wlio  was  consulted  in  planning  tlie  mode  of  se-

computing  staff. 


continue  on  a  small  scale ;  but  no  estimate  can  yet  be  given 
of  the  actual  figures. 

Thus  it  appears  that  over  67  per  cent  of  the  regis- 
trants remain  uncalled;  and  that  for  filling  the  first 
draft,  the  percentage  of  registrants  called  was  32.16 
per  cent. 

Appendix  Table  1  shows  how  wide  was  the  range  of 
percentages  in  the  several  States.  A  chief  reason  for 
this  variance  was  the  variance  in  credits  for  enlist- 
ments ;  for  obviously  a  State  whose  net  quota  had  been 
reduced  by  large  enlistments  did  not  need  to  call  as 
many  registrants  in  order  to  fill  its  quota.

But  what  portion  of  the  number  called  were  effec- 
tively  ohfa/ned   hy  the  hoards   to  fit  the  quota  of 

687,000  selectives?

1  This  figure  is  4,082  in  excess  of  the  number  actually  returned  by  the  boards  in 
their  reports,  but  their  returns  for  Hue  I  (total  called)  and  Hue  5  (total  rejected,  etc.) 
are  presumed  to  be  more  reliable;  and  the  balance  of  4,082,  necessary  to  make  the 
sum  of  lines  5  and  2  tally  with  the  total  numtier  called  (line  1),  has  therefore  been 
added. 

Note. — Tlie  above  figures  for  "  Certified  for  military  service  " 
(Table  2,  line  2)  are  of  November  12,  or  about  that  date,  and 
therefore  are  slightly  higher  than  tlie  ultimate  figures,  be- 
cause they  include  the  cases  pending  at  that  date  on  appeal 
before  the  district  boards.  The  total  appeals  pending  on  No- 
vember 12  were  approximately  16,1.5G  (Table  2,  line  3).  Of 
this  number,  perhaps  7,000  should  be  deducted  from  the  fig- 
ures in  table  2,  line  2,  to  represent  the  additional  persons 
likely  to  be  discharged  or  exempted  finally,  after  being  certi- 
fied originally  by  the  local  boards.  The  same  number,  7i000, 
should  be  added  to  line  5,  of  Table  2. 

Furthermore,  the  figures  of  Table  2,  line  2.  are  of  course 
higher   than   the   numbers   actually   destined   for   immediate

service,  because  tliey  include  a  large  numlier  of  men  not  to  be 
ordered  to  report  under  the  first  draft  (Table  3).  Most  boards 
certified  a  considerable  number  in  excess  of  their  quota,  so  as 
to  be  on  the  safe  side  and  have  a  supply  ready  to  fill  vacancies 
caused  by  the  reversals  of  rulings  on  appeal,  rejections  at 
camp,  etc.  The  percentage  of  such  excess  of  men  certified 
over  men  due  to  be  ordered  to  camp  under  the  first  ilraft  is 
35.03  per  cent  or  370,363  in  all. 

1.  Thus  it  appears  that,  so  far  as  the  board  via- 
chinery  could  effect  this,  the  calls  (up  to  November 
12)  had  provided  a  maximum  of  1,057,363  men  (line 
2) ;  i.  e.  an  average  of  292  registered  men  were  called 
in  order  to  produce,  at  most,  100  certified  men  for  the 
service.  Appendix  Table  2  shows  the  variances  by 
States. 

2.  What  does  this  signify  for  future  drafts?  It 
signifies  that  if  the  same  board  j)rocedure  were  ad- 
hered to,  and  applying  the  ratio  of  2.92  to  1,  the  num- 
ber yet  uncalled  (6,503,.599)  would  yield  approxi- 
mately a  maximum  of  2,2-27,246  additional  men  certi- 
fied for  the  service. 

3.  Comparing  the  number  called  with  the  quota 
fixed  for  the  first  draft,  we  find: 

Table  3. 


Total  called  compared  with  quota. 


1.  Total  number  called 3, 082,  949 

2.  Net  quota  required 687, 000 

3.  Numlser  certified  for  service 1, 057,  363 


Thus,  the  percentage  of  quota  to  total  called  was 
22.28  per  cent.  In  other  words,  for  every  100  of  re- 
quired quota,  448  men  were  called,  although  the  call 
of  that  number  produced  154  certified  men. 

(Ill)  PROPORTION  OF  PERSONS  CALLED  WHO  FAILED  TO 
APPEAR. 

Persons  called  by  the  boards  for  examination  who 
failed  to  afpear  were  nevertheless  certified  by  the 
boards  for  military  service.  The  figures  of  those  certi- 
fied for  service  (Table  2,  L.  2),  therefore,  include  some 
who  failed  to  appear. 

How  numerous  were  these  men  who  failed  to  appear 
on  call  ?    The  figures  are : 


Proportion  of  called  to  appeared. 


1.  Total  persons  called  by  local  boards '  3, 082,  949 

2.  Failed  to  appear  for  examination 1      252,  294 

3.  Appeared 2,830,655 


Thus,  8.18  per  cent  of  men  called  arc  recorded  as 
"  Failed  to  appear."  Appendix,  Table  4,  shows  the 
figures  by  States. 

1.  This  group  who  failed  to  appear  includes,  how- 
ever, at  least  three  classes  of  persons  who  were  not 
"slackers":  (1)  Many  who  had  enlisted  or  been  com- 
missioned  in   the   meantime,   since   registration,    but

neglected  to  notify  the  boards  of  their  military  status 
and  claim  exemption,  as  they  should  have  done;  (2) 
some  who  had  died;  and  (3)  many  who  were  trans- 
ferred to  other  boards  for  physical  examination  or  for 
the  hearing  of  claims,  but  were  inadvertently  carried 
on  the  books  of  their  original  board  as  "  failed  to 
appear." 

Class  (1)  may  be  estimated  at  85,000.  Probably  tlie 
entire  June  and  July  enlisters  failed  to  notify  their 
boards  (which  were  being  organized,  but  issued  no 
calls  until  August),  and  a  large  proportion  also  of  the 
enlisters  during  August,  September,  and  October. 
Class  (2)  may  be  estimated  at  about  750.  Class  (3) 
may  have  reached  15,000 ;  no  figures  are  yet  available. 

This  leaves  some  150,000  to  be  accounted  for.  Were 
they  all  "  slackers  "  ?  Undoubtedly  much  the  greatest 
part  of  this  150,000  is  represented  by  aliens;  the  re- 
ports of  the  local  boards  explicitly  show  this.  Of 
these  aliens,  many  left  this  country  to  enlist  in  their 
own  armies;  this  was  especially  true  of  English  and 
Canadians.  Many  other  aliens  failed  to  appear 
through  ignorance  of  their  duties,  or  through  non- 
receipt  of  notices  due  to  the  mischances  inherent  in  the 
spelling  of  foreign  names  or  change  of  occupation  and 
residence.  Many  aliens  residing  near  the  national  bor- 
der lines,  north  and  south,  slipped  over  the  line,  espe- 
cially during  June  and  July,  and  failed  to  appear, 
even  though  they  could  have  claimed  exemption  as 
aliens.^  The  total  of  these  groups,  as  shown  by  the 
local  boards'  report,  may  be  roughly  estimated  at 
100,000  or  more. 

The  remainder,  representing  the  real  "  slackers," 
thus  numbered  50,000  or  less,  or  an  average  of  less 
than  10  for  each  local  board.- 

2.  Those  who  failed  to  appear  were  reported  to  the 
municipal  police  or  to  the  Federal  district  attorney  by 
some  local  boards.  But  the  pressure  of  daily  business 
at  the  boards  made  it  impossible  to  do  this  systemati- 
cally. Moreover,  since  many  nonappearances  were  due 
to  ignorance  or  inadvertence,  since  the  larger  number 
were  due  to  the  men  having  enlisted  without  notify- 


'This  i>ai-t  of  the  story  can  plainly  be  seen  in  Appendix  Table  4, 
where  the  highest  percentages  of  "failed  to  appear"  are  found  in 
Arizona,  California,  Florida.  Lonislana.  Montana,  Nevada.  Now  Mexico, 
and  Texas  :  the  sinlilar  high  percentage-s  in  Coiinccticiit.  Illinois.  Wis- 
consin, and  Wyoming  are  explainnhlc  on  other  gwninds.

regulation  No.  11  show,  .ns  the  net  uumlicr  of  men  who  tailed  to  appear 
and  unaccounted  for.  4C,8.51.  These  returns  were  made  up  by  compil- 
ing the  total  returus  ot  the  local  boards  made  through  the  district 
boaids  to  the  State  adjutant  generals  on  Form  146-A,  and  by  then 
deducting  the  numbers  of  those  men  who  had  in  the  meantime  reported 
for  service,  and  by  making  return  of  the  remainder  to  The  -•Adjutant 
General  of  the  Army.  Though  this  method  ot  reckoning  differs  from 
that  above  set  forth  in  accounting  for  the  252,000  borne  on  the 
records  ot  the  local  boards  as  "  failed  to  appear,"  yet  the  net  result 
of  I  he  two  reckonings,  viz,  47,000  and  50,000,  respectively,  does  not 
substantially  vary. 


'ing  their  boards,  and  since  in  any  event  the  delinquents 
were  certified  for  military  sei'vice  imder  the  regula- 
tions and  would  become  duly  subject  to  service  when 
the  time  arrived  for  issuing  orders  to  report  for  en- 
trainment,  it  was  therefore  deemed  wise  to  undertake 
no  general  legal  measui-e  against  them  at  this  interim 
stage.  The  Department  of  Justice,  however,  has  se- 
cured reports  from  the  several  United  States  judicial 
districts  showing  the  total  cases  brought  to  their  atten- 
tion. The  figures  (as  shown  by  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Justice  records)  are :

(IV)   PROPOUTION  OF  CAMP  STRENGTH  OBTAINED. 

But  the  board's  macbinci-y  was  not  the  final  process. 
Of  these  certified  for  service  (Table  2,  line  2),  some 
failed  to  appear  for  mobilization,  some  others  were  re- 
jected at  camp  on  physical  reexamination,  some  were 
awaiting  orders  to  report  for  mobilization,  and  some 
were  or  will  be  sent  back  from  camp  on  account  either 
of  reversals  of  ruling  by  appeals  boards  or  sundry 
errors.    The  figures  are :

In  line  3,  however,  are  included  some  85,000  or  more 
men  who  enlisted  in  various  branches  of  the  service 
without  notifying  their  boards  formally  (Table  4). 
Tlie.se  men  are  therefore  somewhere  in  the  military 
service  in  addition  to  the  numbers  in  the  National 
Army  camps  (line  7). 

Thus  a  shortage  (lines  2-6)  of  285,451  (estimated 
as  of  November  20)  is  to  be  subtracted  from  the  total 
certified  for  service,  giving  the  total  ]Dotential  camp 
strength. 

1.  Is  this  teTTvporary  shortage,  represented  by  lines 
2-6,  a  feature  peculiar  to  the  first  draft,  or  must  it  b»

reckoned  with  as  a  permanent  factor  in  future  drafts? 
That  is,  will  there  always  be  such  a  discount  to  be 
made  from  the  gross  number  finally  certified?  The 
failures  to  appear  will  in  future  be  largely  lessened, 
the  organization  being  better  perfected.  The  failures 
to  report  will  be  lessened  by  more  complete  coopera- 
tion by  the  police.  The  phj-sical  rejections  at  camp 
are  perhaps  a  permanent  element.  The  discharges,  on 
appeal  may  not  occur  to  such  an  extent  for  future 
drafts.  On  the  whole,  the  percentage  of  shortage  will 
be  much  lower  in  future  drafts. 

2.  Comparing  the  quota  required  to  be  raised  with 
the  number  actually  accepted  in  camp  on  November 
20,  we  find  a  discrepancy :

3.  Shortage 


687, 000 
383, 675 
303, 325 


1.  This  shortage  was  of  course  temporary  only,  for 
the  boards  will  continue  to  order  men  up  for  mobili- 
zation and  into  camp  until  the  quota  is  finally  filled. 

2.  The  reason  for  the  shortage  on  November  20  was 
the  unpreparedness  of  the  camps.  The  date  origi- 
nally fixed  for  mobilization  into  camp  was  September 
5.  On  that  date,  and  ever  since  that  date,  the  local 
boards  had  in  readiness  large  numbers  of  men  in  ex- 
cess of  the  numbers  actually  ordered  to  be  entrained. 
The  selective-service  administration  produced  the  men 
on  schedule  time ;  the  delay  has  been  solely  due  to  the 
delayed  readiness  in  camp  construction  and  equipment 
at  various  points. 

3.  There  will,  however,  always  be  at  intervals  a 
small  difference  between  required  quota  and  men  actu- 
ally and  permanently  in  camp.  Interim  enlistments 
and  commissions  represent  only  a  credit  to  each  board 
on  its  quota,  and  thus  a  slight  discrepancy  will  always 
exist  between  this  nominal  and  actual  man  power  at 
camp.  "Wlien  registered  and  called  men  are  enlisted 
or  commissioned  in  the  Military  or  Naval  Service, 
their  papers  only  are  forwarded  to  camp  by  local 
boards;  such  are  termed  "paper  men,"  being  in  the 
service  elsewhere,  and  appearing  only  on  the  records 
of  such  camps  to  which  their  respective  local  boards 
would  have  sent  them ;  therefore  the  camp  quota  (rep- 
resenting the  National  Army)  is  temporarily  short, 
but  the  national  quota  with  these  items  counted  in 
(representing  additions  to  the  war  strength  of  the 
Regular  Army  and  the  National  Guard)  will  ulti- 
mately be  filled. 


(V)  COLORED  CITIZENS  UNDER  THE  FIRST  DRAFT. 

The  following  table  shows  the  number  of  colored 
citizens  who  were  affected  by  the  first  selective  draft : 


1.  Total  of  all  registrants... 

2.  Total  of  colored  citizens 


Thus  it  appears  that  the  total  registration  of  citi- 
zens of  African  descent  was  nearly  8  per  cent  of  the 
entire  (composite)  registration. 

2.  Wliat  proportion  of  colored  citizens  registered 
were  called  by  the  boards?

Thus  it  is  shown  that  28.33  per  cent  of  such  regis- 
tered colored  citizens  were  called  by  the  local  boards 
for  examination  as  to  availability  for  service,  in  con- 
trast with  32.48  per  cent  of  white  registrants.  Ap- 
pendix Table  8  shows  this  variance  for  the  respec- 
tive States. 

The  difference  is  apparently  due  to  the  circumstance 
that  in  some  States  the  roster  of  colored  and  white  was 
kept  separate,  and  that  the  call  sometimes  proceeded 
more  rapidly  with  one  than  with  the  other.

EEPOBT  OF  THE  PROVOST  MARSHAL  GENEBAL. 


Thus  it  appears  that  out  of  every  100  colored  citi- 
zens called  36  were  certified  for  ser\'ice  and  64  were 
rejected,  exempted,  or  discharged;  whereas  out  of 
evei-y  100  whites  called  25  were  certified  for  service 
and  75  were  rejected,  exempted,  or  discharged. 

Appendix  Table  9  shows  the  vai'iant  figures  for  the 
several  States. 

The  explanation  of  this  difference  can  not  be  yet 
definitely  ascertained,  until  a  more  thorough  study  of 
the  records  becomes  possible.  The  difference  is  prob- 
ably not  due  to  either  a  difference  in  physical  quali- 
fications, nor  to  a  difference  in  the  applicability  of  the 
several  legal  grounds  for  exemption  and  discharge. 
So  far  as  the  several  regions  of  the  country  are  con- 
cerned, the  lesser  ratio  for  colored  to  white  certified 
appears  mainly,  but  not  exclusively,  in  the  Southern 
States. 

4.  If  the  same  processes  were  adhered  to,  as  in  the 
first  draft,  what  disposition  would  be  made  of  the 
remaining  uncalled  colored  registrants  ? 

Table  10.

1.  Colored  not  called  for  examination 

2.  Exemptions,  discharges,  and   rejec-

63.77

Thus  it  appears  that,  if  future  drafts  were  to  be 
conducted  by  the  same  processes  of  selection,  we  might 
reasonably  expect  to  increase  our  National  Array 
strength  by  only  191,539  of  the  uncalled  registered 
colored  citizens  still  to  be  examined;  the  balance, 
337,131,  being  probably  covered  by  exemptions,  dis- 
charges, or  rejections. 

(VI)  CAUSES  FOR  EXCESS  OF  MEN  CALLED  OVER  MEN 
OBTAINED  BY  BOARDS. 

Turning  back  now  to  the  number  of  called  persons 
not  certified  for  service  by  the  boards  (Table  2,  line 
6),  and  seeking  for  the  causes  thereof,  they  fall  into 
two  general  classes:  Physical  rejections,  and  legal  ex- 
emptions or  discharges.  These  two  causes  were  dis- 
tributed as  follows : 

Table  11. 


Causes  for  nonacceptanco. 


1.  Total  men  called 

2.  Total  not  certified 

3.  Rejected    phyei- 

cally    by     local 
boards 

4.  Exempted  or  dis- 

charged on  claims 
6.          Total  certified  (either  fi- 
nally or  awaiting  ap- 
peal)

730,  756 
1,  294, 830 


23.70 
41.99 


36.08 
63.92 


1.  Thus  of  the  total  persons  not  certified  it  appears 
that  physical  disqualification  furnished  36  per  cent 
of  the  total,  while  legal  exemptions  and  discharges 
furnished  64  per  cent. 

2.  Taking  the  total  men  called  for  examination  or 
hearing  (Table  11,  line  1),  it  appears  that  the  -per- 
centage  rejected  for  physical  disqualification  was  24 
per  cent,  and  that  the  percentage  exempted  or  dis- 
charged on  claims  was  42  per  cent. 


XI. 


REJECTIONS  FOE  PHYSICAL  DISaUAIIFICATION. 

Taking  first  among  these  two  general  causes  for 
rejection  that  of  physical  disqualification,  we  note 
that  the  foregoing  figures  show  us  merely  the  relative 
importance  of  this  ground  of  rejection  to  the  other 
grounds,  but  do  not  throw  any  light  on  the  absolute 
physical  condition  of  draftable  men. 

1.  For  this  purpose  we  must  examine  the  proportion 
of  phj'sical  rejections  to  all  persons  physically  ex- 
amined.   The  figures  are : 

Table  12.

2.  Total  rejected  by  local  boards .... 

3.  Total  accepted  by  boards 

29.11 
70.89 

Thus  it  appears  that  the  percentage  of  physical  dis- 
qualification to  all  men  examined  was  approximately 
29  per  cent.  Appendix  12  shows  the  variant  figures 
for  the  several  States. 

During  the  Civil  War  this  percentage  approximated 
26  per  cent  (report  of  the  Provost  Marshal  General, 
Part  I,  p.  252,  Tables  2,  8,  14,  20,  25).  In  view  of  the 
great  advance  since  that  date  in  standards  of  medical 
diagnosis  and  physical  perfection,  the  foregoing 
figures  indicate  a  decided  improvement  in  national 
physical  condition  during  the  past  two  generations. 

The  Civil  War  percentages  were : 

Per  cent. 

First   draft 31.  69 

Second    draft 24.  76 

Third   draft 24.  95 

Fourth  draft 13. 42 

Average  for  all 25.  74 

There  was  evidently  a  great  relaxation  in  strictness 
of  examination  as  the  war  proceeded.  It  should  be 
noted,  too,  that  the  war  had  been  in  progress  for  some 
time  before  the  first  draft  was  made,  and  that  the  men 
later  examined  probably  fell  below  the  physical  aver- 
age of  the  men  available  at  the  openftig  of  the  war. 

2.  Comparing  the  physical  rejections  with  the  total 
men  called,  we  find :

8.  The  causes  for  rejection,  when  ascertainable,  wiJ] 
be  of  great  sociological  and  medical  value.  But.  in 
the  present  emergency,  the  time  and  labor  to  cxainino 
in  detail  two  million  and  a  half  records  can  not  be 
spared. 

4.  But  the  physical  examination  at  the  local  boards 
was  further  supplemented  by  a  second  examination 
of  the  accepted  men  at  the  camp  by  camp  surgeons. 
What  was  the  result  ? 


The  difference  between  this  percentage  in  line  2  and 
that  of  Table  12,  line  2,  is  due  of  course  to  the  fact  that 
not  all  persons  called  were  physically  examined.  The 
persons  called  but  not  physically  examined  were  (1) 
those  whose  physical  examination  was  postponed  un- 
der regulations,  .section  16,  because  they  claimed  cer- 
tain exemptions;  (2)  those  who  failed  to  appear,  and 
were  there  certified  for  service  without  physical  ex- 
amination; and  (3)  those  who  were  called  and  heard 
as  to  legal  claims,  so  as  to  have  an  ample  supply  of 
men  ready  in  excess  of  quota,  but  were  not  physically 
examined,  pending  decision  as  to  their  need  to.  fill 
quota.

(a)  The  percentage  7.16  in  line  8,  however,  is  not 
the  criterion  of  the  superior  strictness  of  the  camp  sur- 
geons over  the  local  boards,  because  the  men  arriving 
at  camp  included  a  large  number  who  had  failed  to 
appear  at  aU  before  the  local  boards  (line  5).  These 
men  had  been  certified  to  the  district  boards  and  re- 
ported to  the  State  adjutant  general  (Form  146A), 
and  then  had  been  searched  out  and  sent  forward  di- 
rectly to  camp  hj  the  adjutant  general  without  prior 
physical  examination  at  all ;  thus,  obviously,  they  must 
not  be  included  in  compai'ing  the  revisory  work  of  the 
camp  surgeons  with  that  of  the  local  boards.  An  in- 
spection of  a  sample  series  of  records  indicated  that 
this  class  of  men  accounted  for  about  1  in  every  four 
rejections.  The  proper  basis  for  comparison  is,  there- 
fore, the  ratio  of  rejections  by  camp  surgeons  of  men 
already  physically  examined  by  local  boards  to  the 
total  of  such  men  arrived  in  camp. 

(b)  This  comparison  (line  4)  shows  that  the  per- 
centage of  men  accepted  by  local  boards  who  did  not 
measure  up  to  the  standards  of  the  camp  surgeons  was 
only  5.8  per  cent.  This  small  figure  is  a  remarkable 
testimony  to  the  efficiency  of  the  local  board  sui'geons. 

Moreover,  as  the  393,000  men  in  line  3  represent 
only  the  acceptances  (70  per  cent)  out  of  a  group  of 
561,000  examined,  and  as  the  23,000  rejected  at  camp 
(line  4)  are  only  4  per  cent  of  that  number,  it  may 
be  said  that  the  amount  of  additional  corrective  cidling 
effected  by  the  camp  surgeons'  labors  was  4  per  cent 
on  the  whole  mass  examined. 

(e)  Rumors  here  and  there  in  the  public  press  stated 
that  the  camp  surgeons  had  discovered,  among  the  men 
accepted  by  the  local  boards,  some  with  glass  eyes, 
some  with  cork  legs,  and  some  with  other  obvious  dis- 
qualifications. If  such  men  were  found,  no  disparage- 
ment is  involved  for  the  local  board  surgeons;  for  it 
is  safe  to  assert  that  such  grossly  defective  persons 
came  from  the  contingent  of  about  20,000  men  who  had 
never  appeared  before  the  local  boards,  but  had  been 
gathered  up  by  the  adjutants  general  and  sent  direct 
to  the  camps.  There  is  no  groimd  for  supposing  that 
the  local  board  surgeons  were  either  incompetent  or 
careless  to  that  extent.  The  spirit  of  their  practice 
was  to  make  all  intendments  in  favor  of  the  Govern- 
ment; but  nothing  permits  us  to  suppose  that  they 
would  or  did  send  to  camp  any  men  with  cork  legs  or 
glass  ej'es. 

[d)  Doubtless  the  local  boards  varied  extremely  in 
the  strictness  of  their  examinations.  But  so  also,  it 
seems,  did  the  camp  surgeons.  Table  14A  shows  that 
the  percentage  of  rejections  at  camp  varied  between 
0.72  per  cent  and  11.87  per  cent;  and  as  the  physical 
condition  of  the  men  from  the  different  regions  can  not 
entirely  account  for  this,  it  must  be  attributable  in 
part  to  differences  of  strictness  in  the  examinations  by 
the  camp  surgeons:

5.  But  were  the  Surgeon  General's  rules  for  physi- 
cal examination,  as  set  forth  in  the  directions  to  the 
local  boards,  stricter  than  necessary  for  securing  effi- 
cient fighting  men?  On  this  point  the  civilian  sur- 
geons have  expressed  variant  opinions.  A  large  ma- 
jority consider  that  the  physical  requirements  are  not 
too  exacting.  But  a  considerable  nimaber  deem  the 
requirements  too  strict  in  many  respects,  notably  as  to 
the  weight-and-height  relation,  teeth,  eyes,  and  feet, 
and  contend  that  the  regulations  as  strictly  applied 
tend  to  exclude  many  capable  and  efficient  men.  For 
example,  one  board  cited  a  case  of  exclusion  for  flat- 
foot  of  a  man  who  had  for  many  consecutive  seasons 
endured  the  hardships  of  a  guide's  vocation  in  the 
Canadian  forests;  and  the  prevalence  of  flat-foot 
among  sturdy  negroes  of  the  South  was  frequently 
commented  on. 

6.  Was  there  any  extensive  attempt  at  deception  of 
the  local  board  surgeons  by  registrants  called  for  ex- 
amination ? 

It  is  gratifying  to  report  that  falsification  was  at- 
tempted to  only  a  slight  and  negligible  extent.  Here 
and  there  a  board  reports  a  locality  as  showing  50 
per  cent  of  attempted  falsification ;  but  these  instances 
were  sporadic,  and  represent  only  some  local  obliquity 
of  morals. 

7.  Of  the  various  grounds  for  rejection,  which  were 
the  most  common?  It  must  be  left  to  the  future  to 
study  accurately  the  valuable  mass  of  data  now  latent 
in  the  records.    Time  has  sufficed  only  to  examine  a

■were  represented,  spread  over  eight  camps.  The  spe- 
cific source  of  defect  sliowing  the  largest  percentage 
■was  eyes;  and  the  next  largest,  teeth.  The  figures  for 
the  principal  causes  of  rejection  are  as  follows :

8.  As  between  ui'han  and  rural  residents,  the  figures 
throw  an  interesting  light  on  the  much-discussed  ques- 
tion of  the  relative  physical  condition  of  country  and 
city  boys.  Selection  was  made  of  a  typical  set  of  cities 
of  40,000  to  500,000  population,  having  no  large  ele- 
ment of  foreign  inmiigrants,  and  distributed  over  10 
different  States  (Alabama,  Arkansas,  Calif oi-nia,  Colo- 
rado, Kansas,  Montana,  Nebraska,  New  York,  North 
Carolina,  and  Texas),  and  a  corresponding  set  of 
counties  of  similar  total  size  located  in  the  same  States, 
and  containing  no  city  of  30,000  population ;  the  total 
number  of  registrants  represented  was  315,000.  The 
comparison  results  as  follows: 

Table  16.

The  result,  therefore,  is  virtually  a  tie  for  the 
country  boy  and  the  city  boy. 

XII. 
EXEMPTION  AND  DISCHARGE  IN  GENERAL 

It  has  been  seen  that  the  percentage  of  all  called  per- 
sons who  were  rejected  on  claim  of  exemption  or  dis- 
charge was  61  per  cent,  totaling  1,294,830  (Table  11, 
line  4). 

Before  examining  the  several  grounds  for  such  re- 
jections it  is  necessary  to  note  (a)  the  mode  of  comput- 
ing this  total,  and  (i)  the  relation  of  claims  made  to 
claims  granted. 

(I)   MODE  OF  COMPUTING  EXEMPTIONS  AND  DISCHARGES. 

To  ascertain  the  total  exemptions  and  discharges,  the 
nmnbcr  granted  by  the  local  boards  must  be  increased 
by  the  numbers  later  granted  by  the  district  boards 
and  by  the  President.    The  figures  are:

These  figures  are  slightly  short  of  the  facts,  because 
of  the  cases  still  pending  (on  November  18)  in  the 
district  boards,  and  (December  15)  on  appeal  to  the 
President  (lines  2,  3,  4).  The  po.ssible  luimbor  of 
pending  appeals  that  maj'  be  granted  is  projcctcii  in

(II)    RELATION  OF  TOTAL  PERSONS  CALLED  TO  CLAIMS 
MADE  AND  CLAIMS  GRANTED. 

Two  questions  here  must  be  answered:  What  pro- 
portion of  i)crsons  made  claims  of  exemption  or  dis- 
charge? What  proportion  of  their  claims  were 
granted? 

The  first  of  these  inquiries  affects  the  popular  will- 
ingness to  serve  at  any  sacrifice.  The  second  inquiry 
involves  both  the  popular  willingness  to  make  ground- 
less claims  and  the  boards'  laxness  or  overstrictness  in 
granting  or  refusing  them.     The  figures  are:

1.  Thus  it  appears  that  50  in  every  100  persons 
called  made  a  claim  of  exemption  or  discharge. 

It  further  appears  (Appendix  Table  19)  that  the 
State  where  the  highest  percentage  of  claims  was  filed 
in  local  boards  was  Kentiickj',  and  the  lowest  was 
Montana. 

The  reports  of  the  local  boards  show  clearly  that  in 
general  the  community  has  cordially  and  loyally  sup- 
ported the  boards,  and  the  individuals  summoned  for 
service  have  willingly  accepted  the  duty  to  serve  with- 
out attempting  to  strain  the  uttermost  limits  of  legal 
privilege  in  order  to  escape  service.  Nevertheless  a 
few  communities  appear  to  have  endeavored  to  abuse 
the  exemption  privilege;  these  communities,  however, 
being  widely  scattered.  On  the  other  hand,  many 
communities  have  made  a  high  record  for  patriotism 
by  proudly  declining  to  avail  themselves  of  their  legal 
privileges.  Appendix  Table  45  shows  the  location  of 
these  banner  communities. 

In  general,  the  local  boards  were  distinctly  less 
favorabljr  disposed  than  was  the  public  to  recognizing 
claims  for  exemption  or  discharge. 

2.  It  appears  that  for  77  in  every  100  persons 
claiming  the  cl-ai?ns  were  granted,  i.  e.,  for  23  in  every 
100  the  claims  were  either  groundless  or  were  ruled 
upon  overstrictly  by  the  boards. 

It  further  appears  (Appendix  Table  19)  that  the 
State  having  the  highest  percentage  of  claims  granted 
by  local  boards  was  Connecticut,  and  the  lowest  was 
Mississippi. 


As  to  the  difference  of  result  in  local  and  district 
boards,  it  appears  that  the  district  boards  either  were 
more  strict  or  were  more  assailed  by  groundless  claims 
than  the  local  boards. 

A  pronounced  majority  of  the  local  boards  report 
that  unfounded  claims  were  few  and  that  exaggeration 
was  not  serious.  Many  boards,  on  the  other  hand,  say 
that  40  or  50  per  cent  of  the  claims  were  unfounded  or 
exaggerated;  reports  that  25  per  cent  of  the  claims 
were  exaggerated  are  common. 

A«ifew  boards  confess  that  they  administered  the  ex- 
emption provisions  in  a  liberal  spirit,  especially  in  de- 
pendency cases,  but  in  general  the  boards  declare  that 
they  interpreted  the  provisions  strictly  and  gave  the 
Government  the  benefit  of  a  doubt,  convinced  that  this 
policy  was  supported  by  the  people. 

The  public  in  some  districts  appears  to  have  been 
more  favorably  disposed  to  dependency  exemptions 
than  to  those  resting  on  agricultural  or  industrial 
grounds.  The  reason  for  the  latter  classes  of  exemp- 
tions were  not  always  clearly  understood ;  for  example, 
the  exemption  of  a  prosperous  farmer  having  large 
property  was  likely  to  be  resented. 

3.  Is  any  improvement  feasible  in  the  mode  of  in- 
quiring  into  the  truth  of  claims? 

Nearly  all  of  the  boards  believed  that  improvement 
is  feasible.  Twenty-five  boards  say  that  the  new 
regulations  and  questionnaire  meet  their  criticisms  of 
the  old  mode,  or  at  least  constitute  a  great  improve- 
ment. The  suggestions  of  many  other  boards  indicate 
that  they  had  not  yet  seen  the  new  regulations.  Thus 
a  number  of  boards  recommended  that  they  be  given 
authority  to  summon  and  examine  witnesses,  while 
other.?  suggest  that  affidavit  forms  in  dependency 
cases  be  elaborated,  much  as  they  have  been  in  the  new 
regulations. 

4.  A  further  question  has  some  interest.  Wliat  pro- 
portion of  men  noio  certified  into  the  National  Army 
went  willingly  or  unwillingly?  The  actual  state  of 
mind,  of  course,  can  not  be  known.  But  the  filing  of 
an  unsuccessful  claim  for  exemption  or  discharge  is 
at  least  an  index  of  unwillingness,  and  the  figures  here 
show  as  follows: 

Table  20.

(III)    RESPECTIVE    GROUNDS    FOR    EXEMPTION    AND    DIS- 
CHARGE BY  LOCAL  BOARDS. 

Coming  now  to  the  several  grounds  for  the  granting 
of  claims  of  exemption  or  discharge  we  find  them  thus 
for  the  local  boards: 


Grounds  for  exemption  and  discharge.

6.          Moral  unfitness  (sec  21)

It  thus  appears  that  dependency  furnished  74  per 
cent  of  the  rejections  and  alienage  furnished  nearly  20 
per  cent,  or  together  made  93f  per  cent  of  the  whole. 

These  .several  grounds  may  now  be  examined  sex^a- 
rately. 

XIII. 

DEPENDENCY  AS  A  GROUND  FOR  REJECTION. 

1.  A  first  inquiry  would  be :  What  proportion  of  all 
persons  having  dependents  sought  discharge  on  that 
ground?  This  question  can  not  be  answei-ed — partly 
because  the  needful  examination  of  individual  files  has 
not  been  feasible  in  the  limited  time  available,  and 
partly  because  most  persons  not  malsing  such  claim 
refrain  from  disclosing  the  dependency  of  their  fami- 
lies. 

2.  A  second  inquiry  is:  How  far  was  dependency  a 
less  extensive  ground  for  discharge  than  marriage 
woukl  have  been  if  the  law  had  made  marriage  alone  a 
sufficient  gi-ound?     The  figures  are:

Thus  the  first  draft  gained  163,115  of  the  total  call 
by  not  having  marriage  alone  as  the  ground  of  dis- 


charge. But  this  figure  is  a  little  too  high,  because  not 
ail  married  persons  would  have  claimed  discharge. 

More  significantly,  the  ratio  of  married  persons  ac- 
cepted (line  3)  to  married  persons  discharged  for  de- 
pendency (line  5)  was  18  per  cent  and  82  per  cent, 
respectively,  showing  that  dependency  was  to  that 
degree  a  less  extensive  ground  of  discharge  than  mar- 
riage alone  would  have  been.  Table  22  in  the  Ap- 
pendix shows  the  variation  in  the  several  States. 

These  figures  demonstrate  the  wisdom  of  Congress 
in  establishing  dependency,  rather  than  marriage 
alone,  as  the  ground  for  discharge;  this  provision  of 
the  statute  has  saved  for  the  Army  some  103,000  men, 
or  18  per  cent  over  the  number  discharged  by  the  op- 
posit«  provision. 

And  that  this  distinction  of  the  statute  commands 
the  solid  support  of  public  opinion,  after  a  fair  and 
full  trial,  is  equally  plain.  In  answering  the  question, 
"  Should  marriage  be  substituted  as  the  ground  for  dis- 
charge':!" an  overwhelming  majority  of  the  boards, 
both  local  and  district,  are  opposed  to  marriage  alone 
as  a  ground  for  discharge;  apparently  the  remainder 
would  favor  marriage-and-children  as  the  ground. 
Those  boards  who  at  the  time  of  reporting  had  studied 
the  new  regulations  of  November  expressed  their  satis- 
faction with  the  way  in  which  this  subject  is  there 
dealt  with. 

In  administering  the  statutory  rule  there  was  an  en- 
tire lack  of  uniformity  in  the  action  of  the  local  boards. 
Many  discharged  all  or  virtually  all  married  men 
(see  chart  to  Table  25) ;  some  discharged  married  men 
with  children;  some  held  many  married  men  with 
children.  Probably  there  were  as  man}^  criticisms  of 
the  local  boards  for  holding  too  many  married  men  as 
for  discharging  too  many. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  a  large  number  of  local 
boards  in  the  aggregate  did  discharge  virtually  all 
married  men.  But  this  number  fell  far  short  of  a  ma- 
jority of  the  boards,  it  seems  reasonably  certain. 
Some  shifting  of  policy  was  caused  by  the  President's 
statement  late  in  August;  after  its  issue  there  was  a 
greater  liberality  toward  mai'ried  men. 

By  "  married  men  "  the  boards  usually  refer  to  men 
married  prior  either  to  April  G  or  May  18,  1917. 

3.  A  further  inquiry  is :  Which  forms  of  dependency 
were  the  most  common  ?    The  figures  are : 


Specific  dependency  classes. 


1.  Total  discharges  for  dependency 

2.  Wife,  or  wife  and  children

4.  AuotliGT  inquiry  is:  For  future  drafts,  how  far 
^ill  married  men  form  an  element  to  be  reckoned 
■with?'    The  figures  are: 

Table  24. 


1.  Total  registered  men  not  called  yet. 

2.  Known  married  men  (June  o)... 

3.  Known  single  men  (June  5)

Thus  it  appears  that  in  future  drafts  we  shall  find 
virtually  evei-y  other  man  married. 

5.  In  these  totals  of  married  and  single  yet  uncalled, 
what  is  the  net  prospect  of  their  relative  availability, 
as  shown  by  the  experienca  of  the  first  draft?  The 
figures  show  that  the  percentage  of  mari-ied  men  ac- 
cepted was  10.87  per  cent;  the  chart  to  Table  25  shows 
the  variances  for  the  several  States.

1  Fnom  tills  number  should  be  deducted  the  number  of  marriages 
of  such  men  contr.icted  since  June  0,  estimated  at  97,128.  by  takius  the 
Census  Bureau's  estimated  percentage  ol  all  marriages  by  men  21 
to  30,  viz,  0.05  per  cent  per  annum,  for  Bve  months,  and  applying  it 
to  the  number  of  single  men  still  uncalled. 

This  signifies  that,  after  all  grounds  of  rejection 
have  been  passed  upon  (whether  dependency,  physical 
disqualification,  or  all  else),  the  net  available  numbere 
of  married  men  and  single  men,  respectively,  would  be 
as  shown  m  lines  5  and  6,  assuming  that  the  same  rules 
continued  to  be  applied.  This  is  of  service  in  estimat- 
ing the  probable  effect  of  th*  ntw  classification  an- 
nounced in  November. 


XIV. 
ALIENAGE  AS  A  GROUND  FOR  EXEMPTION.

83.28 
16.72 


1.  It  tlius  appears  that  the  proportion  of  called 
aliens  discharged  was  83  in  100. 

(a)  The  proportion  of  aliens  discharged,  however, 
varied  in  different  States,  as  shown  by  Appendix 
Table  26,  the  largest  proportion  being  found  in  Dela- 
ware and  the  smallest  in  Montana. 

(6)  In  the  populous  metro-poUfan  centers,  where  the 
largest  numbers  of  aliens  were  concentrated,  there  was 
also  much  variance,  as  shown  in  Appendix  Table  26. 
There  the  largest  proportion  of  discharges  was  found 
in  Seattle  and  the  smallest  in  Philadelphia. 

(o)  Was  the  fact  that  the  aliens  accepted  were  as 
many  as  17  in  100  due  to  their  voluntary  waiving  of 
claim,  or  to  their  ignorance?  The  figures  do  not  re- 
veal the  an.swer,  but  the  reports  from  the  boards  throw 
some  light  on  this: 

Most  of  the  boards  say  that  no  appreciable  number 
of  aliens  were  certified  through  ignorance  on  their 
part  of  their  privilege  of  exemption.  A  comparatively 
small  number  report  that  some — generally  only  a 
few — were  certified  through  such  ignorance.  The 
areas  where  this  occurred  were  the  congested  metro- 
politan wards,  having  high  numbers  of  registraitts; 
the  overworked  clerks  were  sometimes  heedless  of 
aliens  who  could  not  make  their  desires  known ;  more- 
over, the  aliens'  ignorance  of  the  language  and  of  the 
legal  S3'stem  often  discouraged  them  from  persisting 
in  the  due  presentation  of  their  claims.  Add  to  this 
the  marked  sentiment  prevailing  in  some  localities

that  the  quota  system  fixed  by  the  act  of  Congress 
made  a  burdensome  discrimination  in  favor  of  aliens. 
These  considerations  suffice  to  explain  the  occasional 
rumors  in  the  public  press  as  to  the  treatment  of 
aliens.  There  is  no  reason  to  suppose  that  aliens  were 
not  given  full  consideration  in  any  but  a  very  few 
instances.  The  figures  in  tables  27  and  28  strongly 
corroborate  this  conclusion.  There  is  ample  testimony 
also  that  wherever  such  errors  were  brought  to  the 
boards'  attention  every  effort  was  made  to  correct 
them;  many  aliens  were  in  this  way  discharged  from 
camp. 

It  must  also  be  remembered  that  many  aliens  were 
strongly  sympathetic  with  the  allies'  cause,  and  were 
ready  and  desirous  to  serve.  An  overwhelming  ma- 
jority of  the  boards,  to  be  sure,  report  that  no  ap- 
preciable number  of  aliens  were  willing  to  serve;  some 
boards  say  "  a  few  were  willing."  On  the  other  hand, 
in  one  Chicago  board,  40  per  cent  of  the  registered 
aliens  were  willing;  in  Carlyle,  Clinton  County,  111., 
50  per  cent ;  in  Dekalb  County,  111.,  75  per  cent. 

(d)  As  between  neutral  aliens,  allied  aliens,  and 
aliens  allied  with  the  enemy,  were  there  differences  of 
attitude  ? 

The  boards'  answers  to  this  question  are  rather  in- 
definite, but  it  seems  probable  that  while  allied  and 
neutral  aliens  are  more  sympathetic  in  their  attitude 
toward  the  selective-service  law  than  are  aliens  allied 
with  the  enemy,  their  sympathy  does  not  very  often 
find  expression  in  an  eagerness  to  serve  in  the  Army. 

As  between  allied  am:l  neutral  aliens,  a  number  of 
boards  say  the  allied  aliens  showed  a  better  attitude, 
but  there  are  one  or  two  boards  who  found  the  neu- 
tral aliens  the  more  willingto  serve. 

2.  On  the  whole,  how  did  aliens  fare,  compared  with, 
cithern  and  declarants,  in  being  held  for  service  after 
all  exemptions  were  passed  upon?     The  figures  are:

It  thus  appears  that  the  benefit  of  alienage,  over 
and  above  all  other  grounds  for  exemption  and  dis- 
charge, amounted  to  10  per  cent. 

3.  Was  alienage  the  sole  ground  availed  of  for  ex- 
emption by  aliens,  or  did  they  avoid  service  on  other 
gDunds?     The  figures  are:  ,^

Appendix  Table  33  shows  their  location  by  States. 

Appendix  Table  33A  shows  the  figures  for  the 
specific  nationalities. 

(a)  The  13,233  Austro-Hungarians  in  column  3  (ac- 
cepted for  service)  were  not  enemies  at  the  time  of  the 
boards'  action,  nor  at  the  time  of  making  their  returns 
(November  12). 

The  928  Germans  figuring  in  column  3  (accepted  for 
service)  are  accounted  for  in  part  by  inadvertent  mis- 
placing of  figures  in  the  boards'  statistical  returns,  and 
in  p"art  by  reckoning  declarants  or  naturalized  citizens 
as  aliens;  for  no  board  would  have  accepted  any  Ger- 
mans for  service. 

(&)  Of  allied  (cobelligerent)  aliens,  what  number 
would  be  available  in  future  drafts,  if  by  treaty  with 
all  cobelligerents  and  by  legislation  based  thereon 
such  persons  ceased  to  be  exempt?

OTHER  GROUNDS  OF  EXEMPTION  OR  DISCHARGE. 

(A)    VOCATIONS   SPECIFICALLY  RECOGNIZED  IN  THE  LAW 
AS  A  BASIS  FOR  EXEMPTION  OR  DISCHARGE. 

The  selective-service  law  makes  specified  vocations 
a  ground  for  exemption  or  discharge  by  local  boards 
(apart  from  the  "necessary  industries"  dealt  with  by 
the  district  boards). 

What  was  the  relative  effect  of  these  several  grounds 
of  exemption  or  discharge  ?    The  figures :

1.  For  the  foregoing  classes  the  first  inquiry  is, 
What  proportio7i  of  the  whole  number  in  each  such 
vocation  (as  shown  by  census  estimates)  was  exempted 
or  discharged  on  claim  made?  The  answer  could  be 
given  only  after  a  careful  projection  of  the  thirteenth 
census  figures  for  the  year  1917,  and  the  available 
time  has  not  sufficed  to  do  this.

KEPOET    OF    THE   PKOVOST  MARSHAL   GENEEAL. 


2.  The  second  inquiry  is,  What  was  the  relative 
she  of  this  group  of  exemptions  or  discharges  in  the 
total  of  exemptions  and  discharges?  This  percent- 
age, 5.83  per  cent,  has  already  been  shown  in  Table 
21,  line  4. 

3.  The  local  and  district  boards  reports  show  a 
general  support  given  to  this  group  of  exemptions  and 
discliarges,  with  a  tendency  (if  any  changes  were 
made)  to  eliminate  or  restrict  some  of  them. 

About  one-fifth  of  the  boards  recommend  that 
officers  of  the  United  States  and  the  States  should  not, 
as  a  class,  be  exempt.  A  few  of  these  say  that  only 
elective  officers  should  be  exempt;  a  large  number 
believe  that  only  the  more  important  officers,  or  those 
whose  places  would  be  difficult  to  fill  satisfactorily, 
should  be  exempt. 

Nearly  40  per  cent  of  the  boards  recommend  that 
ministers  of  religion  should  not,  as  a  class,  be  exempt. 
The  reason  most  frequently  given  is  that  they  are 
needed  at  least  as  much  in  the  Army  as  at  home,  and 
that  their  presence  would  have  an  excellent  effect  upon 
the  mora]  tone  of  the  Army.  A  few  boards  suggest 
that  they  should  be  assigned,  if  they  so  desire,  to  non- 
combatant  service. 

Ninety  out  of  133  district  boards  recommend  that 
students  of  divinity  should  not,  as  a  class,  be  exempt. 
There  appears  to  be  a  good  deal  of  feeling  on  this  sub- 
ject. Some  boards  suggest  that  an  Array  camp  is  the 
best  of  training  schools  for  the  ministry;  a  larger 
number  point  out  that  the  influence  of  divinity  stu- 
dents in  the  camps  would  be  excellent.  Many  say 
they  see  no  reason  for  distinguislung  divinity  students 
from  other  professional  students,  and  some  suggest 
that  divinity  students  be  treated  the  same  as  medical 
students. 

There  is  practically  no  opposition  to  the  exemption 
of  persons  in  military  or  naval  service;  though  there 
is  some  feeling  that  men  of  draft  age  who  are  likely 
to  be  called  at  an  early  date  should  not  be  allowed  to 
take  refuge  in  a  noncombatant  branch  of  the  service. 

The  reports  indicate  considerable  dissatisfaction 
with  the  laxness  on  the  part  of  men  who  have  entered 
the  military  or  naval  service  in  notifying  the  local 
boards.  By  some  boards  it  is  recommended  that  Army 
officers  certify  enlisted  men.  One  suggestion  is  that  a 
man  who  intends  to  volunteer  should  be  required  first 
to  obtain  a  card  from  his  local  board  and  then  report 
back  to  the  board  with  proof  of  his  actual  entry  into 
the  service. 

As  already  pointed  out  (pp.  41-42),  some  85,000  or 
more  men  who  enlisted  failed  to  notify  their  boards  of 
their  new  status.  Moreover,  by  the  terms  of  the  selec- 
tive-service act  persons  in  the  military  or  naval  service 
on  June  5,  1917,  were  not  required  to  register.  These 
two  circumstances  explain  the  small  number  of  exemp- 
tions based  on  this  ground. 


There  is  a  strong  opinion  among  the  boards  against 
the  dischai-ge  of  the  governmental  classes  covered  by 
Eegidations,  section  20  a-e.  The  best  proposal  is  that 
these  cases  should  be  treated  as  analogous  to  those  of 
occupational  grounds  of  discharge  and  left  to  the  judg- 
ment of  the  district  boards.  The  boards,  however,  have 
apparently  not  fully  realized  that  none  of  these  voca- 
tions were  dischargeable  absolutely  and  entirely  as  a 
class,  and  that  by  direction  of  the  President  each  indi- 
vidual case  in  all  of  these  Federal  groups  (custom- 
house, mail,  arsenal,  and  sundry  employees)  was 
treated  on  its  merits  as  to  the  necessity  of  retaining 
the  man  at  his  civic  post,  and  no  claim  for  discharge 
on  those  grounds  was  authorized  unless  his  superior 
officer,  or  the  Secretary  of  the  department  himself  (in 
many  cases),  issued  a  certificate  of  necessity. 

A  large  number  of  boards  oppose  the  discharge  of 
county  and  municipal  officers  as  a  class.  This  view  is 
partly  based  on  the  difficulty  of  establishing  a  fair 
definition  which  will  discharge  only  those  who  are 
really  necessary  in  the  local  government. 

Similar  considerations  lead  several  boards  to  express 
disapproval  of  the  discharge  of  pilots  and  mariners 
as  a  class. 

B.  RELIGIOUS  CREED;  "  CONSCIENTIOUS  OBJECTORS." 

1.  As  to  the  partial  discharge  authorized  by  the  law 
for  persons  professing  a  "  religious  creed  opposed  to 
war  in  any  form"  (so-called  "religious  objectors"), 
the  total  number  of  such  discharges  was  3,887.  (Table 
21,  line  5.) 

(a)  A  first  inquiry  might  be:  What  proportion  of 
such  creed  members  availed  themselves  of  this  claim? 

This  question  can  not  yet  be  answered,  until  time 
permits  a  complete  examination  of  the  files  of  the  local 
boards. 

(&)  As  to  the  partial  nature  of  the  discharge  (leav- 
ing them  liable  to  serve  only  "in  some  capacity  de- 
clared by  the  President  to  be  noncombatant"),  it  may 
be  stated  that  the  President  has  not  as  yet  seen  fit  to 
call  for  such  noncombatant  services  in  any  such  in- 
stances. Nor  has  he  by  any  Executive  order  defined, 
at  the  time  of  preparing  this  report,  the  scope  of  non- 
combatant  services  for  such  persons. 

{c)  This  ground  of  discharge,  however,  has  been  far 
from  receiving  public  support.  A  very  large  majority 
of  the  district  boards  recommend  that  religious  objec- 
tors should  not  be  discharged.  Evidently  the  feeling 
is  widespread  that  the  religious-creed  objection  is  in 
many  cases  not  genuine.  Furthermore,  many  boards 
express  the  belief  that  honest  religious  objection  ought 
not  to  be  allowed  to  deprive  the  Nation  of  an  able- 
bodied  defender.  Many  of  the  boards,  however,  which 
favor  holding  religious  objectors  to  military  service 
express  the  opinion  that  those  whose  objection  seems 
genuine  should  be  assigned  to  noncombatant  service. 


EEPORT   OF   THE  PBOVOST  MARSHAL   GENERAL. 


59 


2.  The  "  conscientious  objector,"  so  called,  has  no 
recognition  in  the  selective-service  law,  and  is  thus 
distinct  from  the  religious-creed  member. 

(a)  It  was  supposed  by  some  that  the  number  of 
"  conscientious  objectors  "  who  Aoukl  refuse  to  appear 
if  drafted,  or  to  serve  if  ordered  to  camp,  would  be 
large — as  many  as  20,000.  In  fact,  the  reports  from 
cnmp  commanders  indicate  that  only  5G1  have  dis- 
closed themselves  by  refusal. 

The  Secretary  of  War  had  under  consideration,  at 
the  time  of  preparing  this  report,  a  plan  of  treatment 
in  the  camps  which  will  preserve  from  impairment  the 
nece&sary  standards  of  military  discipline,  without 
doing  undue  violence  to  the  sensibilities  of  such  of 
these  misguided  men  as  may  be  sincere  in  their  prin- 
ciples. 

(h)  There  is  extremely  little  popular  sympathy  for 
tliis  class.  Almost  unanimously  the  boards  assert  that 
they  are  slackers  in  disguise,  and  ought  to  be  sent  to 
the  front. 

(<•)  Some  boards  treat  religious  and  conscientious 
(jbjcctors  as  one  class,  and  say  that,  when  found  to  be 
honest,  they  might  well  be  assigned  to  noncombatant 
service.  But  it  should  not  be  forgotten  that  the  two 
classes  are  entirely  distinct; — legally,  morally,  and 
practically.  They  are  legally  distinct,  because  the  act 
of  Congress  expressly  recognizes  and  gives  a  legal 
status  to  the  one,  but  wholly  ignores  the  other.  Tliey 
are  morally  distinct,  because  the  one  is  obeying  what 
he  regards  as  a  divine  mandate,  binding  the  conscience 
of  believers,  and  sanctioned  by  the  settled  tradition  of 
their  chui-ch;  while  the  other  is  merely  choosing  to 
accept  the  loose  and  untried  speculations  of  modern 
theorists  who  avow  no  respect  for  religious  scriptures 
and  profess  no  authority  over  the  conscience.  They 
are  practically  distinct,  because  the  one  inclades  an 
ascertainable  group  of  individuals,  registered  in  their 
sect,  definitely  fixed  on  May  IS  (the  date  of  the  pas- 
sage of  the  selective-service  act),  and  not  capable  of 
enlargement  at  will ;  while  the  other  may  include  any- 
one whomsoever  who  has  chosen,  after  May  18  last, 
to  make  profession,  howevei-  insincerely,  of  an  opinion 
opposed  to  war;  and  thus  this  group,  if  recognized  in 
[uactice,  would  inevitably  become  an  easy  and  impreg- 
nable refuge  for  an  unlimited  number  of  "  slackers." 

(C)   MORAL  UNFITNESS. 

The  selective-service  law  authorized  the  President 
to  exclude  or  discharge  the  ''  morally  deficient."  This 
was  defined  by  the  President's  regulation  (sec.  21)  to 
iuchule  persons  convicted  and  sentenced  for  felony  in 
any  court  of  record;  thus  conforming  to  the  general 


rule  forbidding  such  enlistments  (U.  S.Eev.  Stat.,  sec. 
1118). 

1.  The  total  number  of  such  persons,  2,001  (Table 
2,  line  6),  was  gratifyingly  small. 

2.  On  this  subject  there  is  a  pronounced  difference 
of  opinion  among  the  boards.  A  considerable  ma- 
jority of  the  boards  believe  that  the  morally  deficient 
should  be  held  for  service,  (1)  because  it  is  not  fair  to 
others  to  discharge  them,  and-  (2)  because  tlie  disci- 
pline of  the  Army  and  the  opportimity  to  prove  tl>eir 
usefulness  to  their  country  would  be  of  benefit  to  them. 
The  dissenting  minority  emphasize  the  danger  to  the 
moral  tone  of  the  Army  if  moral  defectives  are  ad- 
mitted. A  number  of  boards  say  they  should  be  held, 
but  assigned  to  special  service  or  organized  in  sepa- 
rate units. 

The  reports  of  the  boards  disclose  considerable  un- 
certainty as  to  tlie  meaning  of  the  words  "morally 
deficient."  The  President's  regulatien,  above  cited, 
explicitly  excluded  a  certain  class,  but  left  to  the 
boards'  discretion  the  further  application  of  the  terms 
of  tlie  statute.  Such  use  of  local  discretion  seems  to 
afford  the  best  solution. 

3.  In  the  case  cf  persons  already  under  arrest  or  on 
hail  on  charges  of  crijne  there  was  no  uniformity  of 
action.  A  few  boards  discharged  persons  of  this  class; 
a  larger  number  held  them  if  the  prosecuting  attorney 
was  willing  to  discontinue  the  prosecution;  some  re- 
ported them  on  Form  14G  A  ("failed  to  appear"); 
some  discharged  tliem  temporarily,  pending  the  out- 
come of  the  prosecution;  many  simply  certified  them 
for  service.  The  most  common  practice,  apparently, 
was  to  certify  for  service  those  charged  with  misde- 
meanors, but  to  postpone  or  temporarily  discharge 
those  chaiged  ^Yith  felony.  In  many  cases  it  appears 
that  the  civil  authorities  consented  to  the  action  of  the 
board  in  holdifig  men  for  service. 


(D)   ENLARGEMENT  OF  THE  GROUNDS  FOR  EXEMPTION  OB 
DISCHARGE. 

By  an  overwhelming  majority,  the  boards,  both  local 
and  district,  indicate  that  no  additional  grounds  of  ex- 
emption of  discharge,  other  than  those  now  recog- 
nized, should  be  provided.  Indeed,  about  a  dozen 
boards  express  the  opinion  that  there  are  already  too 
many  groimds. 

A  few  boards  recommend  that  students  of  medicine, 
dentistry,  engineering,  and  chemistry  be  exempted  or 
discharged.  But  this  proposal  had  been  anticipated 
by  recent  amendments  of  the  selective  service  regula- 
tions enabling  such  students  to  be  entered  in  the  En- 
listed Keserve  Corps  pending  the  completion  of  their

selective-service  system. 

XVL 

ENIAEGEMENT  OF  THE  AGE  LIMITS  FOR  COMPUI- 
SORY  MILITARY  SERVICE. 

Should  the  class  of  draftable  persons  in  future 
drafts  be  enlarged  or  diminished,  as  to  the  ages  to  be 
included  ? 

A  pronounced  majority  of  the  boards  favor  some  en- 
largement, but  there  is  great  diversity  of  opinion  as  to 
the  proper  age  limit.  Nineteen  and  35  are  perhaps  the 
limits  most  frequently  suggested ;  but  some  recommend 
40  or  45  years  as  the  upper  limit.  There  is  a  distinctly 
stronger  demand  for  raising  the  maximum  age  than 
for  lowering  the  minimum. 

The  reason  given  for  advocating  this  enlargement 
is  the  fact  that  there  are  many  good  men  under  and 
over  the  present  limits  who  could  more  easily  be  spared 
than  an  equal  number  within  the  limits. 

The  following  additional  suggestions  are  made  by  a 
number  of  boards:  (1)  That  young  men  who  were 
under  age  should  come  within  the  law  when  they  reach 
the  minimum  draft  age;  (2)  that  young  men  of  18 
or  19  should  be  enrolled  and  trained,  so  as  to  be  ready 
for  active  service  immediatelj'  ujjon  attaining  draft 
age. 

It  is  obvious  that  we  are  at  the  threshold  of  this 
problem  in  our  further  provision  for  the  conduct  of 
the  war,  and  that  a  wise  foresight  should  be  employed 
in  settling  it. 

The  two  most  important  preliminary  inquiries  are: 
"What  are  the  numbers  of  availahle  men  in  the  addi- 
tional age-groups  ?  Wliich  groups  can^we  least  afford 
to  draw  from? 

1.  The  available  numbers  are  as  follows: 

Table  36. 


1.  Males  31-45  years,  both  inclusive  (estimated) 

2.  Males  21-30  years,  both  inclusive,  not  yet  called. . 

3.  Males,  18-20  years,  both  inclusive  (estimated) 

4.  Males  arriving  at  age  21,  between  June,  1917  and 

June,  1918  (estimated)

6,  503,  559 
3, 087, 063 

1, 000, 000 


Inasmuch  as  most  (96  per  cent)  of  the  age  18-20 
group  are  not  married,  and  most  (77  per  cent)  of  the 
age  31-45  are  married,  it  will  serve  sufficiently  the 
purpose  to  estimate  the  number  of  single  persons  avail- 
able in  each  of  these  groups,  and  then  to  take  the  prob- 
able number  of  acceptances,  as  shown  by  the  percentage 
of  acceptances  in  the  first  draft  (Table  25).  This  esti- 
mate results  as  follows :

These  figures  show  us  the  respective  sizes  of  the 
available  reservoirs  to  be  drawn  from. 

In  considering  the  grounds  of  preferences  for  the 
three  groups  not  now  liable  to  service,  conflicting  con- 
siderations meet  us.  The  younger  men  are  generally 
deemed  to  make  the  soundest  and  most  pliable  military 
material.  On  the  other  hand,  the  older  men  are  more 
Ukely  to  yield  in  large  number.s  the  occupational  skill 
so  necessary  in  the  varied  composition  of  the  modern 
army.  Moreover,  imder  the  rational  selective-service 
system,  which  seeks  to  distribute  the  burden  equally 
among  the  willing  and  the  unwilling,  it  is  important, 
if  not  essential,  to  include  the  older  men,  because  a 
smaller  proportion  of  them  are  likely  to  enlist;  i.  e., 
to  enter  the  Ariny  voluntarily  without  waiting  for  the 
call  of  the  law.  If  the  age  limits  were  not  enlarged  to 
include  the  older  men  for  raising  the  needed  num-  • 
hers,  too  large  a  proportion  of  the  youuger  and  more 
aggressively  patriotic  men  would  be  withdrawn  from 
civil  life,  thus  unduly  injuring  the  coming  generation. 

In  view,  however,  of  the  considerable  number  of 
men  already  available  under  the  law,  the  main  reason 
for  enlarging  the  age  lunits  at  this  time  is  to  distribute 
the  burden  more  equally,  in  preparation  for  a  later 
situation  of  need  that  may  arise.  From  this  point  of 
view,  the  extension  might  well  be  both  upward  and 
downward,  by  way  of  a  registration  of  all  ages  19  to 
21  and  31  to  45. 

In  any  event,  the  greatest  caution  should  be  exer- 
cised not  to  interfere  with  the  technical  training  of 
the  younger  group  of  men.  The  higher  training 
should  be  protected  from  undue  inroads ;  for  it  is  there 
that  the  practical  sciences  are  being  developed.  Both 
M'ar  and  industry  must  be  able' to  count  upon  a  con- 
tinuous and  ample  supply  of  tranced  young  men.  The 
experience  of  continental  countries  here  has  its  lessons 
for  us.  The  technical  courses  should  not  be  allowed 
to  be  gutted.  Already,  by  volunteering  alone,  many  or 
most  colleges  have  lost  (on  the  average)  50  per  cent 
of  their  students.  The  number  at  stake  is  not  largo 
in  respect  of  the  mere  man  power  of  the  Army,  but  it 
is  potent  in  its  possibilities  for  service  if  properly 
trained. 


EEPOBT  OF   THE  PKOVOST  MARSHAL  GENERAL. 


CI 


A  wise  exftedient  v,-ould  be  (if  the  age  limits  are 
lowered  (o  18  or  19)  (1)  to  i-cquire  every  technical 
student  in  a  recctgnized  college  to  enter  the  Enlisted 
Reserve  Corps,  and  to  relieve  him  from  call  by  a  local 
board  during  the  completion  of  his  course;  (2)  to  re- 
quire every  such  student  to  take  a  course  of  military 
instruction  and  drill  for  each  of  such  years,  or  to  en- 
ter an  officers'  training  camp  during  the  summer;  (3) 
to  appropriate  the  sums  necessary  to  provide  military 
instruction  and  drill  at  every  college  furnishing  a  unit 
of  100  men.  By  this  means,  the  vital  demand  for  ed- 
ucated young  men  could  be  filled,  and  at  the  same  time 
their  preparation  for  military  service  when  needed 
could  be  insured. 

XVII. 

KELATION  OF  LOCAL  AND  DISTRICT  BOAEDS 

(APPEALS). 

The  appellate  system  provided  for  the  revision  and 
control  of  rulings,  and  for  rulings  on  claims  of  exemp- 
tion and  discharge  tliere  was  an  appeal  from  the  local 
boai'd  to  the  district  board. 

(I)  APPEALS  ON  RULINGS  OF  PHYSICAL  QUALIFICATIONS. 

There  was  no  appeal  from  a  local  board  ruling  on 
physical  qualification,  but  provision  was  made  for  the 
equivalent  of  an  appeal  by  the  Government  fi'om  the 
examining  physician  to  the  board  when  the  physician 
found  the  man  disqualified;  this  was  the  method  of  re- 
examination by  a  second  physician. 

Thi*method,  however,  has  been  replaced  in  the  new 
selective-service  regulations  (Dec.  15)  by  a  method  of 
sending  doubtful  cases  to  a  medical  advisory  board 
and  of  permitting  an  appeal  to  the  district  board. 

(II)  APPEALS  ON  CLAIMS  OF  EXEMPTION  OR  DISCHARGE. 

Appeals  from  rulings  of  local  boards  could  be  taken 
from  any  ruling  on  a  claim  of  exemption  or  discharge, 
whether  granting  or  denying  such  claim. 

The  figures  for  such  appeals  are:

It  of  such  cases. 


1.  It  time  appears  that  78  per  cent  of  all  cljrims  dis- 
allowed were  appealed,  indicating  a  marked  demand 
for  consideration  by  an  indejiendent  authority. 

2.  It  also  appears  that  45  per  cent  of  all  appeals 
filed  were  granted.  This  seems  to  indicate  that  the 
institution  was  a  useful  and  needful  one,  even  though 
the  correctness  "of  the  appellate  ruling  in  every  case 
be  not  assumed.  Nevertheless,  the  wide  variances  in 
the  figures  for  the  different  States  (not  here  printed) 
show  that  not  much  significance  can  be  attached 
to  the  average  percentage.  One  board,  in  Illinois, 
reports  only  2  per  cent  of  reversals  on  appeal;  an- 
other board,  in  Missouri,  reports  95  per  cent  of  re- 
versals. In  other  States  the  range  of  reversals  was 
from  10  per  cent  to  55  per  cent,  and  from  20  per  cent 
to  65  per  cent  for  different  boards  within  the  same 
State.  Evidently  the  average  of  45  per  cent  does  not 
signify  that  this  was  the  usual  amount  of  correction 
needed  for  local  boards'  rulings,  but  merely  that  this 
was  the  national  average  for  a  wide  variety  of  policies 
and  attitudes  in  the  several  district  boards. 

Nevertheless,  the  revisory  function  of  the  district 
boards  was  a  valuable  and  necessary  one.  Betli  dis- 
trict and  local  boards,  though  naturally  taking  op- 
posite points  of  view,  concur  in  this  view.  Some  two- 
thirds  of  the  local  boards  express  the  opinion  that 
the  appeal  to  the  district  board  is  useful,  not  only  as 
tending  to  uniformity  and  as  increasing  public  con- 
fidence, but  as  relieving  the  local  boaxds  them.selves 
from  the  often  difficult  and  delicate  task  «f  sitting  in 
final  judgment  on  the  cases  of  their  friends  and  neigh- 
bors. The  dissent,  however,  is  vigorous  and  in  some 
cases  bitter,  the  chief  argument  being  that  the  district 
boards  do  not  understand  local  conditions  and  arc  not 
so  familiar  with  the  real  facts.  The  district  boards 
are  unanimous  in  believing  that  the  appeal  is  useful. 
Many  of  them  speak  of  it  as  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant provisions  of  the  law.  According  to  their 
views,  it  is  essential  to  the  uniform  administration  of 
the  law  and  to  the  correction  of  errore  committed  by 
the  local  boards;  it  greatly  mitigates  dissatisfaction 
with  the  decisions  of  the  local  boards ;  it  protects  reg- 
istrants from  injustice  resulting  from  local  preju- 
dice and  influence;  it  serves  to  prevent  local  boards 
from  neglecting  their  duty  or  abusing  their  power; 
it  bars  the  escape  of  many  men  who  ought  to  be  in  the 
Army. 

Most  of  the  district  boards  report  that  their  rela- 
tions with  the  local  boards,  in  interchange  of  business, 
were  satisfactory.  There  is  frequent  complaint,  how- 
ever, of  the  slowness  of  local  boards  in  certifying  their 
lists  of  eligibles.  The  volume  of  complaint  against 
the  district  boards  for  tardiness  in  certifying  lists  is 
just  about  equal  to  that  against  the  local  boards  by 
the  district  boards.  As  one  local  board  very  consid- 
erately expresses  it,  "  We  realize  that  they  have  their 
troubles  also." 


32 


KEPOKT   OF   THE  PBOVOST  MARSHAL   GENERAL. 


3.  Under  the  original  regulations  the  local  boards 
were  not  required  to  mahe  any  record  of  the  grounds 
of  their  ruling  for  the  information  of  the  district 
hoard  in  reviewing  the  ruling.  Nor  were  the  district 
boards  required  to  do  the  like  in  reversing  a  local 
board  ruling.  In  consequence,  few  boards  of  either 
:sort  did  so.  This  left  each  in  ignorance  of  the  other's 
reasons  for  action  and  proved  to  be  in  some  i-espects 
undesirable.  Most  boards  recommended  a  change  in 
the  regulations.  But  this  need  had  been  foreseen,  and 
luider  the  revised  regulations  of  November  8,  1917 
(sec.  101,  Rule  XXXIII;  se«.  107,  Rule  XLII),  each 
class  of  boards  is  required  to  enter  a  minute  of  its 
reasons  for  a  ruling.  Other  minor  recommendations 
have  also  been  anticipated  in  the  new  regulations. 

XVIII. 

INDUSTEIAL  NECESSITY  AS  A  GROUND  FOR  DIS- 
CHARGE. 

It  remains  to  examine  the  scope  and  effect  of  those 
discharges  placed  by  law  in  the  original  jurisdiction 
of  the  district  boards,  viz,  "  persons  engaged  in  indus- 
tries, including  (U/riculture,  found  to  be  necessary  to 
the  maintenance  of  the  military  establishment,  or  the 
effective  operation  of  the  military  forces,  or  the  main- 
tenance of  national  interest  during  the  eniergenc}'. 

(These  will  be  referred  to  hereafter  as  "  industrial 
discharges,"  to  follow  the  statutory  use  of  the  term 
"  industry.") 

Note. — The  figures  here  to  be  given  have  some  margin  of  un- 
certainty, so  far  as  tlie  net  final  results  are  coucerned,  be- 
cause the  final  action  of  the  district  boards,  and  of  the  Tresi- 
deut  on  appeals,  was  not  completed  at  the  date  (Nov.  IS)  when 
it  became  necessary  to  call  for  the  national  figures  for  use  in 
this  report.  The  number  of  cases  pending  and  undisposed  of 
on  that  date  was  approximately  24,652.     (Tables  17  and  40.) 

Three  main  inquiries  here- suggest  themselves: 
(I)   Wliat  loere  the  numbers  of  industrial  claims 
presented  and  acted  upon  by  the  boards? 
.   (II)  For  the  several  industriest,  what  was  the  pro- 
portional inroad  vmde  on  the  -■adustry  at  large,  by  the 
first  draft? 

(Ill)  For  the  several  inditstries,  what  numbers  of 
registrants  remain  available  for  future  drafts,  under 
the  selective-service  act  as  it  now  stands? 

310DE  OF  COMPUTATION  OF  TABLES  39,  4  2,  4  3. 

1.  The  docket  summaries  of  the  local  boards  do  not 
show  the  respective  industries  of  the  registrants.  For 
this  purpose  it  was  necessary  to  rely  upon  the  registra- 
tion cards. 

2.  Nor  do  the  docket  summaries  of  the  district 
boards  specify  the  respective  industries,  other  than 
agriculture.  For  this  purpose,  it  would  be  necessary 
to  consult  the  papers  filed  by  each  claimant.  As  the 
time  available  was  limited,  and  the  boards  were  over- 


worked, the  call  for  the  figures  was  left  ojDtional  for 
the  district  boards  to  answer.  The  total  number  re- 
plying was  95.  Hence  the  figures  represent  probable 
percentages  only. 

3.  The  total  number  of  industries  as  classified  in  the 
Thirteenth  Census  was  several  hundreds.  As  the 
boards,  in  the  limited  time,  could  not  be  asked  to  clas- 
sify with  such  nicety,  the  census  classes  were  reduced, 
by  condensation,  to  30  groups.  The  census  totals  for 
these  30  groups  therefore  give  an  accurate  basis  for 
computing  the  effect  of  the  draft  on  the  entire  person- 
nel of  tli6  respective  industrial  groups. 

4.  For  topic  (I)  above,  the  source  of  the  figures  is 
the  docket  sheets  of  the  district  and  local  boards.  For 
topics  (II)  and  (III)  the  source  is  the  registration 
cards. 

Obviously  the  former  source  showed  only  the  action 
taken  upon  claims  made,  and  was  tiseless  for  determin- 
ing the  net  effect  of  the  draft  upon  a  given  industrial 
group;  e.  g.,  out  of  500  registrant  farmers  in  a  given 
area,  100  farmers  might  have  been  discharged  on  in- 
dustrial claims,  and  yet  100  others  might  have  been 
discharged  on  dependency  claims,  or  200  in  all,  so  that 
the  net  loss  to  the  farming  industry  was  only  300  (in- 
stead of  400,  as  the  industrial  claim  discharges  alone 
would  have  seemed  to  indicate).  Therefore  the  regis- 
tration cards,  marked  to  show  whether  discharged  or 
not  discharged,  were  taken  as  the  source  for  this  in- 
formation.

BOARDS.  c 

A.  Action  of  district  hoards. — Taking  the  statutory

Whether  the  difference  was  due  to  variance  in  strict- 
ness or  laxity  of  boards,  or  to  variance  in  groundless- 
ness of  claims,  for  the  two  classes,  does  not  appear. 

AjDpendix  Table  39  shows  the  vEtriations  in  the 
several  States. 

3.  Dividing  all  the  industries  into  30  groups,  the 
relative  numbers  held  for  service  and  discharged  in 
each  industrial  grvup  are  shown  in  Appendix  Table 
39A. 

This  taljle  shows  that  the  gi'oup  in  which  the  great- 
est percentage  of  claimants  was  held  for  service  was 
trade  and  merchandise  in  general ;  and  that  the  groups 
in  which  the  least  percentage  was  held  for  service  were 
iron  and  steel  industries,  especially  blast  furnaces, 
steel  rolling  mills,  iron  foundries,  military  weapons 
factories,  powder,  cartridge  and  dynamite  factories, 
ship  and  boat  building  yards.  This  throws  some  light 
on  the  convictions  of  the  district  boards  as  to  the  rela- 
tive necessity  of  the  various  industries,  under  the 
definition  of  the  selective-service  law. 

Note  to  Table  39. — In  these  figures  tliere  is  a  small  margin 
of  uncertainty,  because  the  figiu-es  for  tlie  total  claims  filed 
represent  agriculture,  etc.,  as  classiCed  in  the  district  board 
docket  sheets,  while  the  figures  for  total  registrants  represent 
agriculture,  etc.,  as  classified  by  the  local  board  enumerators. 

The  foregoing  figures  represent  the  original  action 
of  the  district  boards.  On  appeal  to  the  President 
some  rulings  were  reversed,  as  shown  in  Table  40. 

B.  Appeals  from  district  hoai'ds  to  the  President. — 
Appeals  from  rulings  of  a  district  board  to  the  Presi- 
dent on  an  industrial  claim  were  the  last  stage  of  the 
selective  procedure.     The  figures  are :

'  Tliu  fipire  on  Dec.  15  amountod  to  8,791,  wliieli  number  was  used  in  the  compu- 


1.  Thus  it  appears  that  2G.1G  per  cent  of  all  claims 
disallowed  were  appealed,  and  that  7.49  per  cent  of 
all  appeals  acted  on  were  granted. 

{a)  The  former  percentage  indicates  that  there  was 
relatively  small  disposition  to  dispute  the  decisions  of 
district  boards. 

{h)  The  latter  percentage  indicates  that  there  was 
small  ground  for  the  employment  of  the  appeal  to  the 
President.  Inasmuch  as  many  of  the  appeals  were 
taken  where  the  district  board  had  ruled  unanimously 
after  the  most  careful  investigations  and  deliberations, 
the  revised  regulations  of  November  8,  1917,  provide 
(sec.  Ill)  that  an  appeal  to  the  President  can  be 
taken  only  when  one  member  of  the  district  board 
recommends  it,  as  well  as  either  the  Goverxmient  ap- 
peal agent  or  the  State  adjutant  general. 

2.  Taking  the  two  statutory  classes  of  industrial 
claims,  viz,  agricultural  and  iwnagricultural,  the  fig- 
ures are  as  follows:

29,  and  for  nonagricultural  claims  28. 

{h)  The  percentage  of  appeals  granted  was  for 
agi'icuUural  claims,  7.26,  and  for  nonagriciiUurnl 
claims,  8.20;  indicating  no  substantial  difference  be- 
tween them.

THE   PKOVOST   MARSHAL   GENERAL. 


1.  This  table  shows,  in  the  fii-st  place,  that  the  fer- 
centage  in  the  several  industrial  groups  varied  widely. 

The  causes  for  this  are  various  and  not  accurately 
ascertainable. 

One  cause  is  the  difference  in  the  size  of  the  21-30 
age  group  in  the  different  industries.  For  example, 
the  census  of  1910  shows,  in  agriculture,  in  100  males 
of  age  21  upward,  62  of  age  21-44  as  against  38  of  age 
45  upward,  but  in  oil  and  gas  wells  SO  of  age  21-44  as 
against  20  of  age  45  upward ;  and  this  explains  in  part 
why  the  percentage  taken  by  the  draft  (age  21-30) 
was  larger  for  the  latter  than  for  the  fonner  industry. 

Another  cause  is  the  localization  of  industries  in 
connection  with  the  size  of  the  net  quota.  For  ex- 
ample, if  in  a  certain  region  most  of  the  draftable 
persons  were  in  the  oil  and  gas  industry,  and  in  an- 
other region  most  were  in  agriculture,  but  the  quota 
of  the  former  region  had  been  relatively  reduced  by 
large  credits  for  enlistments,  the  effect  of  the  draft  on 
the  two  industries  would,  in  appearance,  be  relatively 
less  in  the  former  than  in  the  latter  industry. 

Two  other  obvious  causes  ai'e  the  differences  in  the 
numbers  of  exempt  aliens  and  of  nonliable  females  in 
the  several  industries. 

Further  study  will  doubtless  reveal  other  explana- 
tory causes. 

2.  It  appears,  secondly,  that,  although  in  no  indus- 
trial group  was  the  inroad  absolutely  large  in  quantity, 
the  groups  experiencing  the  greatest  inroads  were  oil 
and  gas  wells,  powder  and  cartridge,  etc.,  factories, 
steel  mills,  etc.,  and  shipbuilding. 


The  groups  experiencing  the  smallest  inroads  were 
agriculture,  clothing,  leather,  liquor  and  beverage, 
l^aper,  textiles,  trade  and  merchandise,  and  profes- 
sional classes. 

Is  this  result  a  desirable  one,  in  view  of  the  needs  for 
war  preparation  and  for  the  maintenance  of  national 
welfare  during  the  emergency?  This  question  intro- 
duces us  to  a  problem  of  unusual  and  pressing  impor- 
tance, viz.,  the  problem  of  using  the  selective-service 
system  so  as  to  distribute  the  contingents  contributed 
to  the  Army  among  the  several  industries  in  the  wisest 
manner.     This  problem  is  discussed  in  Part  I. 

It  is  here  enough  to  point  out,  with  reference  to  the 
need  of  measures  in  future  for  protecting  specific  nec- 
essary industries  from  injurious  inroads,  that  the 
above  mass  figures  can  be  of  little  direct  service,  first, 
because  they  do  not  exhibit  in  sufficient  detail  the 
smaller  branches  of  these  groups,  such  branches  differ- 
ing Avidely  in  their  relative  necessity;  and,  secondly, 
because  they  do  not  exhibit  the  relative  differences  be- 
tween individuals  within  a  given  group  or  industry, 
such  differences  in  skill,  responsibility,  and  replace- 
ableness  being  of  vital  consequence  in  any  effective 
scheme  of  industrial  readjustment. 

(Ill)  INDUSTRIAL  REGISTRANTS  AVAILABLE  FOR  FUTURE 
DRAFTS. 

The  third  and  last  inquiry  is :  For  the  several  indus- 
trial groups,  what  numbers  of  registrants,  draftable 
under  the  present  law,  remain  available  for  future 
drafts?    The  figures  are :

r  discharge  r 
course  certain  that  not  all  registrants  discharged  under"  the  first  draft  will  be  practically  available  in  later  drafts. 

It  may  rather  be  assumed  that  the  largest  portion  of  the  total  men  discharged  under  the  first  draft  will  not  be  available  on  future  drafts.  The  only  certain  basis  lor  the 
Mtimate  of  available  men  in  the  several  industrial  groups,  therefore,  is  to  add  a  small,  unknown,  and  variable  percentage  to  the  totals  shown  in  column  2,  Table  43,  above. 
What  the  variation  of  that  percentage  should  be  in  the  respective  industrial  groups  is  not  practicable  to  estimate  at  this  time. 

(6)  A  second  adjustment  for  Table  4.3  must  be  made,  Deoauso  column  3  represents  the  men  not  certified  for  service  by  the  local  boards,  and  this  number  could  not  be 
•ccurately  known  at  the  time  of  compiling  the  data  (Nov.  12),  because  (1)  many  cases  of  claim  for  exemption  or  discharge,  still  pending  on  appeal  at  that  time,  would  be 
tooided  in  favor  of  the  claimants,  and  (2)  the  lists  of  certified  men  ware  subject  to  some  depletion  bv  rejections  or  nonappearances  at  camp;  and  both  of  these  causes  would 
Increase  column  3.    No  apportionment  of  it  to  the  specific  industrial  groups  could  be  worth  estimatmg . 


BEPORT  OP  THE  PKOVOST  MAESHAL  GENEKAL. 


1.  This  table  shows  that  the  percentages  of  men  of 
draftable  age  still  available  in  the  respective  indus- 
tries vary  substantially  in  column  2,  ranging  between 
60.8  per  cent  and  70.32  per  cent,  but  vary  less  notably 
in  column  4,  ranging  between  88.72  per  cent  and  93.79 
per  cent. 

In  column  2  (which  is  the  safer  basis  for  judgment, 
for  the  reasons  mentioned  in  footnote  (a) )  the  high- 
est percentages  available  are  found  in  leather,  tex- 
tiles, and  clothing;  the  lowest,  in  forestry  and  sundry 
mines.  In  column  4  the  highest  percentages  are  found 
in  lumber,  paper,  leather,  domestic  and  manual  service, 
and  telegraphs  and  telephones;  the  lowest  in  clothing 
and  sundry  mines. 

The  causes  for  these  variances  are  more  or  less  the 
same  as  the  causes  already  set  forth  for  table  42,  viz, 
the  several  circumstances  that  differ  in  the  composi- 
tion of  each  industrial  group — locality,  age,  sex,  alien- 
age, etc. 

But  it  sliould  be  remembered  that  the  variations  are 
in  little  or  no  degree  attributable  to  the  administration 
of  the  selective-service  law  by  the  district  boards  in 
granting  discharges  in  "necessary  industries."  Ob- 
viously, the  judgment  of  the  boards  as  to  "  necessary 
industries"  is  not  reflected  in  the  high  and  low  per- 
centage industries  above  mentioned.  The  tenor  of  the 
boards'  judgment  on  that  subject  must  rather  be 
sought  in  the  figures  of  Table  39  (and  appendix.  Table 
39A)  as  to  the  percentage  of  discharges  granted  on 
claims  made  in  the  several  industrial  groups.  The 
district  boards  dealt  only  with  those  who  made  claims, 
and  had  no  control  over  the  mass  of  registrants  at 
large  or  the  mass  of  registrants  called  and  discharged 


by  the  local  boards.  The  judgment  of  the  district 
boards  as  to  "  necessary  industries,"  as  shown  in  Table 
39A,  is  in  direct  harmony  with  the  obvious  needs  of 
the  present  emergency.  But  the  results  here  shown 
for  Table  43  have  no  such  obvious  relation. 

This  Table  43,  it  must  be  remembered,  shows  only  the 
effect  of  the  draft  on  the  registrants  (ages  21  to  30) 
in  each  industrial  group,  and  not  on  the  total  popula- 
tion in  the  group.  Naturally,  therefore,  no  identity 
could  be  expected  in  the  percentage  for  the  same  group 
in  the  two  tables.  This  explains  why  the  industrial 
groups  most  notably  affected  as  a  whole  (in  Table 
42)  appear  to  be  oil  and  gas,  powder  and  cartridges, 
steel  mills,  and  shipbuilding;  while  the  industrial 
groups  most  notably  affected  in  their  age  21  to 
30  registrants  (Table  43)  appear  to  be  forestry  and 
sundry  mines;  no  one  industry  appearing  in  both  of 
these  lists. 

The  further  development  of  other  important  and  in- 
teresting inferences  and  explanations  to  be  drawn 
from  a  comparison  of  these  several  tables  of  results 
would  require  prolonged  analysis  and  study. 

2.  A  final  observation  on  Table  43  is  that  these  jnass 
numbers  in  themselves  do  not  assist  much  for  future 
drafts  in  determining  the  measures  of  industrial  re- 
adjustment or  conscription  to  be  used  in  the  emer- 
gency, first,  because  they  do  not  locate  the  masses  geo- 
graphically (though  the  data  not  here  printed  would 
serve  for  that) ;  secondly,  because  they  do  not  reach 
and  locate  the  individuals;  and  thirdly,  because  they 
do  not  differentiate  the  relative  skill  or  usefulness  of 
the  individual  within  each  industry.  Nothing  short 
of  a  central  industrial  card  file  will  do  this.

$S03,40S..52  and  $693,432.20,  respectively.  The  items  of  ex- 
penses considered  in  tt»is  computation  are  as  follows:

2.  The  number  of  applicants  accepted  at  general  recruiting 
stations  within  the  year  specified  were  41,210  and  45,111.  re- 
spectively. The  number  of  those  applicants  actually  enlisted 
within  these  years  were  32,828  and  36,222,  respectively.  It 
appears  therefore  that  the  per  capita  cost  or  tlie  unit  cost  of 
applicants  accepted  at  recruiting  stations  for  the  years  1914 
and  1915  were  $19.49  and  $15.37,  re-spectively,  and  that  the 
per  capita  or  unit  cost  of  the  applicants  actually  enlisted 
within  those  years  were  $24.48  and  $19.14,  respectively.
